DeGrom (triceps) threw a bullpen Tuesday and felt good following the session, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Given deGrom's apparent progression in his recovery from right triceps fatigue, the right-hander is a candidate to start for the Rangers on Thursday. He was initially slated to start Wednesday based on his next turn in the rotation, but it seems the 38-year-old will just be bumped a day. The team has yet to confirm its starters for Wednesday and Thursday.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Plays catch without issue Sunday
Rotowire
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said that deGrom (triceps) responded "really well" to playing catch Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
DeGrom is working through right triceps fatigue, which forced him out of his most recent start in Thursday's 7-0 loss to the Angels after just two innings. With an MRI earlier in the week revealing no major red flags, deGrom looks like he could avoid a stint on the injured list, but the Rangers have yet to lock him in for his next start. The fact that he played catch without issue is a promising sign, but deGrom may need to make it through a bullpen session Monday before the Rangers confirm him for his next turn through the rotation, which comes up Wednesday against the Nationals.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Imaging yields positive news
Rotowire
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said that imaging on deGrom's injured right triceps Saturday revealed encouraging news, but the right-hander may not make his next scheduled start, Theo DeRosa of MLB.com reports.
The imaging revealed nothing concerning, validating deGrom's original diagnosis of right triceps fatigue, which forced him out early in his most recent start Thursday against the Angels. While deGrom appears to have avoided any sort of major setback, the Rangers aren't yet ready to commit to him being ready to go for his next turn through the rotation, which is expected to come up Wednesday against the Nationals in Arlington. Options to replace deGrom next Wednesday would include Jack Leiter (ankle), Jordan Montgomery and Cal Quantrill.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Expected to undergo imaging on triceps
Rotowire
DeGrom is expected to undergo imaging on his right triceps Friday after departing Thursday's start against the Angels after just two innings, Jacob Gurvis of MLB.com reports.
Following the game Thursday, deGrom downplayed his right triceps fatigue. "I'm not too concerned," he said. "Hopefully I'll make my next [start], we'll see. Tonight, it just -- there in the second it was tight and just didn't want to loosen up. I haven't really had that before." DeGrom felt he could have kept pitching, but after needing 53 pitches to get through his two frames, manager Skip Schumaker pulled the plug on the right-hander. If deGrom needs to miss time, Jordan Montgomery would be a logical choice to fill his spot in the rotation.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Departs start with triceps fatigue
Rotowire
DeGrom was removed from Thursday's game against the Angels after just two innings due to right triceps fatigue, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
DeGrom needed 32 pitches to make it through the second inning, a frame in which he allowed two runs on five hits. In total, deGrom tossed 53 pitches across his two innings, surrendering the two runs on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts prior to his departure. It doesn't sound like a serious issue for the right-hander, but he'll likely undergo further testing ahead of next week's scheduled start against the Nationals.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Rebounds in eighth win
Rotowire
DeGrom (8-7) notched the win against the Orioles on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out nine.
Jackson Holliday tagged deGrom for a solo shot in the opening inning, but that was all Baltimore would muster on the scoreboard Saturday. The nine strikeouts were the star right-hander's most since June 30 in Cleveland, and it was an encouraging bounce-back performance after he gave up seven hits in each of his prior three outings. DeGrom will bring a career-worst 3.87 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 144:30 K:BB over 118.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Anaheim against the division-rival Angels.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Chased early in loss
Rotowire
DeGrom (7-7) took the loss against the Astros on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and five walks with three strikeouts over 3.1 innings.
DeGrom was uncharacteristically wild, issuing a season-high five walks while throwing just 52 of 91 pitches for strikes. It was the 38-year-old's shortest outing since a three-inning struggle May 22 in Anaheim, though it's the third time in his past seven starts that he's yielded five or more earned runs. He owns a 3.96 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 135:29 K:BB across 113.2 innings this season and will aim to rebound in a home matchup with the Orioles next weekend.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Allows one run in no-decision
Rotowire
DeGrom did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing one run on seven hits and no walks over five-plus innings against Seattle. He struck out four.
DeGrom fired off five frames of one-run ball before allowing a pair of singles to open the sixth frame, prompting the Rangers to pull him at 90 pitches (66 strikes) in favor of Robby Ahlstrom. Ahlstrom closed the inning with no damage to preserve a 3-1 advantage, though struggles from the relievers after him kept Texas and deGrom from picking up the win. The 38-year-old hasn't put up the elite numbers he's regularly produced throughout his big-league career, but the two-time Cy Young Award winner has still been plenty serviceable in 2026. DeGrom, who will likely finish July winless, will take a 7-6 record with a 3.67 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 132:24 K:BB across 110.1 innings (20 starts) into his next outing, lined up for next weekend on the road in Houston.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Chased by ChiSox in fifth frame
Rotowire
DeGrom (7-6) took the loss against the White Sox on Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 4.2 innings.
DeGrom did fine over his first four innings, giving up just one run. However, things fell apart for him in the fifth, when he yielded four runs on four hits and a walk while retiring only two batters. The crushing blow was a bases-clearing double off the bat of Andrew Benintendi, which was followed by deGrom being removed from the contest. The veteran hurler was scratched from his final start before the All-Star break due to a mild left glute strain, but it's unclear if that had any bearing on his shaky performance Monday. DeGrom hasn't been as effective overall this season as in past campaigns, as he holds a 3.76 ERA -- on track for a career-worst mark -- through 105.1 frames spanning 19 starts.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Cleared to start Monday
Rotowire
DeGrom (glute) is scheduled to start Monday's game against the White Sox, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
The 38-year-old was scratched from his final outing before the All-Star break due to a mild left glute strain, but deGrom's been cleared to take the mound for Texas' fourth game of the second half. He's given up two runs or fewer in six of his past seven starts and has a 4-1 record with a 3.07 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 52:10 K:BB across 41 innings during that span.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Likely to return against White Sox
Rotowire
DeGrom (glute) will throw a bullpen session Saturday and will likely make his next start during the Rangers' home series against the White Sox that begins Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Landry initially reported Thursday that deGrom was lined up to face Atlanta on Sunday, but it looks like the veteran right-hander needs a little bit more time to recover. He is dealing with a mild left glute strain that he picked up prior to the All-Star break, but the injury is not severe enough for him to require a stint on the injured list.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Tentatively lined up for Sunday
Rotowire
DeGrom (glute) appears tentatively lined up to start Sunday's game in Atlanta, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
DeGrom had to be scratched from his final scheduled start of the first half due to a mild left glute strain. He planned to play catch over the All-Star break before likely throwing a bullpen session this weekend. As long as he gets through that mound session without any hiccups, deGrom is likely to take the ball Sunday in the series finale. If deGrom needs a little more time, the Rangers could push him back to start during next week's home series versus the White Sox.

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.
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.
