  deGrom on Track to Return | Austin News

  Aug 19, 20262 min

  Jacob deGrom’s return is heating up: after a scary early exit against the Angels, tests revealed just triceps fatigue — a huge relief. He threw a bullpen session Tuesday, and while he sits out Wednesday, he could pitch as early as Thursday. With the Rangers in a tight AL West race, one game behind the Astros and clinging to the wild card, deGrom’s health is critical. The team needs his ace sharp to beat the Nationals in the series finale and keep their playoff dreams alive — especially with Kumar Rocker on deck. All eyes are on deGrom to make sure October doesn’t slip away. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
