Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Scratched Sunday due to glute strain
Rotowire
DeGrom will not make his scheduled start against the Astros on Sunday due to a mild left glute strain, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Friday that he's not sure whether deGrom will be available "right away" following the All-Star break, and a stint on the 15-day injured list is a real possibility for the veteran right-hander. No longer starting Sunday, DeGrom will enter the All-Star break with a 7-5 record over 18 starts along with a 3.49 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 122:22 K:BB across 100.2 innings. The Rangers should have a clearer idea of deGrom's recovery timeline once he undergoes more tests.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Logs no-decision Tuesday
Rotowire
DeGrom allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Tuesday.
DeGrom struggled in the first inning, allowed two runs on a pair of hits and a walk. The veteran right-hander settled in thereafter, holding the Angels scoreless over the remainder of his outing. DeGrom exited having tossed fewer than six innings for the first time over his past six starts, but it was still mostly a positive appearance that included seven punchouts and 13 whiffs. He's lined up to make one more start before the All-Star break -- a home matchup against Houston.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Dominant in seventh win
Rotowire
DeGrom (7-5) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits over seven innings in a 4-2 victory over the Guardians. He struck out nine without walking a batter.
The only blemish on deGrom's line came in the first inning, when Kyle Manzardo jumped on a 98.4 mph first-pitch fastball and launched it over the fence in right-center field for a two-run homer. The veteran right-hander took control after that and didn't let another Cleveland runner get into scoring position until the seventh, when Daniel Schneemann singled and stole second before getting stranded. The quality start was deGrom's fourth in his last five trips to the mound, a stretch in which he sports a 3.48 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB over 31 innings. He'll look to stay dialed in for his next outing, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Tigers.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Stuck with loss in quality start
Rotowire
DeGrom (6-5) took the loss Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six inning as the Rangers fell 4-2 to the Marlins. He struck out eight.
The veteran right-hander dialed up his seventh quality start of the season on 91 pitches (58 strikes), but deGrom left the mound with his team down 2-1, and Texas wasn't able to draw level. It was his first loss since May 22, and deGrom has been tagged with two runs or fewer in five of six outings since that date, posting a 3.06 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 42:9 K:BB in 35 innings over that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Cleveland.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Overcomes early struggles in win
Rotowire
DeGrom (6-4) earned the win against the Padres on Friday, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.
DeGrom allowed five runs in the first inning but battled through five more frames as the Rangers erupted for nine runs in the contest. It marked the third time this season the 38-year-old has yielded six earned runs, though he still managed an impressive 17 swinging strikes on 106 pitches. He'll take a 3.59 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 98:18 K:BB across 82.2 innings into a road matchup against the Marlins next week.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Six strong innings in no-decision
Rotowire
DeGrom took a no-decision Saturday against the Red Sox, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out five.
That's now back-to-back quality starts for deGrom and six on the year so far. The 37-year-old right-hander was shaky in May, posting a 5.72 ERA last month, but he's given up only a pair of runs over his three starts in June (17 innings) to go with a 19:3 K:BB during that stretch. DeGrom will take a steady 3.17 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 89:15 K:BB across 76.2 frames into his next scheduled outing at home against the Padres.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Blanks Guardians across six innings
Rotowire
DeGrom (5-4) earned the win Sunday against Cleveland, allowing three hits across six scoreless innings while striking out six and walking two in Texas' 10-0 shutout victory.
Working off just 87 pitches, deGrom was dominant from start to finish, retiring the last four batters he faced via strikeout and keeping the Guardians completely off balance all afternoon. The performance was especially noteworthy considering the home-run issues that plagued him earlier in the season, as he served up 13 long balls through his first 11 starts. He has now kept the ball in the yard in consecutive outings. DeGrom is now 3-1 with a 1.28 ERA in his six home starts, with 43 strikeouts across 35.2 innings, making the home/road split a possible consideration when setting lineups. His season line sits at a 3.18 ERA and 0.99 WHIP, and while a road matchup against Boston awaits next, the right-hander should benefit from facing a Red Sox lineup that ranks dead last in MLB in home runs.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Tosses five scoreless frames in win
Rotowire
DeGrom (4-4) threw five scoreless innings, allowing four hits and issuing one walk while striking out eight batters to earn the win over St. Louis on Monday.
DeGrom dominated the Cardinals' lineup, racking up 17 whiffs and notching eight punchouts in just five innings. He didn't go deep enough for a quality start after having tossed 91 pitches, but this was nonetheless among his better outings this season. DeGrom had a bit of a rough patch in May during which he allowed 10 runs over nine frames across two starts, but he's bounced back by yielding just two runs across 11 innings over his subsequent two apperances. The veteran righty's numbers aren't quite at peak levels this season, but he's been both healthy and good, posting a 3.48 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 78:13 over 64.2 frames.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Bounces back with quality start
Rotowire
DeGrom allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Wednesday.
DeGrom had given up 10 runs over nine innings across his last two starts. He was much sharper Wednesday while picking up his fourth quality start of the campaign, though he didn't get enough run support to get back in the win column. DeGrom has allowed 18 runs across 28.1 innings over five starts in May, a major step back compared to his dominant performance in April. Overall, the veteran right-hander has a 3.77 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 70:12 K:BB through 59.2 innings over 11 starts. He's been partly held back by virtue of allowing 13 homers so far this season, which is already half as many as he gave up in 172.2 innings during the 2025 regular season. DeGrom will look to get back on track in his next start, which is projected to be on the road versus the Cardinals early next week.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Lasts three innings Friday
Rotowire
DeGrom (3-4) took the loss Friday against the Angels after allowing six runs on six hits and three walks across three innings. He struck out three.
The long ball continues to be an issue for deGrom, as he's now given up 12 homers through 10 starts and 53.2 innings in 2026. It's easy to call this outing the worst of the campaign for the veteran hurler, who's trending in the wrong direction, having allowed four or more runs in three of his last four appearances. With a 6.45 ERA and eight homers allowed over his last four starts, deGrom will be looking to bounce back next week at home against the Astros.
Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Gives up four homers in loss
Rotowire
DeGrom (3-2) took the loss against the Astros on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits while striking out four across six innings. He did not issue a walk.
It was an uncharacteristic night for deGrom, who gave up two solo home runs in both the first and fourth innings of Saturday's loss. It was the second time in 257 regular-season starts that the veteran right-hander allowed at least four home runs in a game, per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. DeGrom has yielded 10 home runs this season (tied for third most in the American League) but has otherwise pitched well with a 3.02 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 61:8 K:BB across 50.2 innings. His next start is lined up for next weekend on the road against the Angels.
Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Vintage performance in third win
Rotowire
DeGrom (3-2) notched the win Sunday against the Cubs, allowing no runs on three hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out 10.
On the heels of giving up a season-worst six runs in his last appearance versus the Yankees, deGrom bounced back in a big way with his longest outing of the season against the red-hot Cubs on Sunday. The 37-year-old right-hander delivered a vintage showing, generating a staggering 23 whiffs en route to matching a season high in punchouts. DeGrom will bring an outstanding 2.62 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 57:8 K:BB over 44.2 innings into his next scheduled start versus the division-rival Astros next weekend.
