Jacob deGrom will skip his next start for the Texas Rangers because of a glute and hip strain, but the team is hopeful that the extra time off will keep him off the injured list, according to ESPN.
DeGrom has battled injuries throughout his career, including multiple stints on the injured list since signing a five-year, $185 million contract with Texas before the 2023 season. The Rangers are taking a cautious approach with the right-hander, opting to give him extra rest rather than push him through discomfort.
No timetable has been announced for his return to the rotation.
