Overview

• President of baseball operations Chris Young said deGrom will miss his scheduled Wednesday start against the Royals due to minor shoulder fatigue.
• Manager Bruce Bochy said deGrom was examined by team physician Dr. Keith Meister in Texas and was cleared of injury.
• Texas has not named a replacement starter, creating short-term rotation strain with no off day until next Thursday.
• The Rangers characterize this as a brief pause tied to deGrom’s 2025 workload, which has climbed to 24 starts and 140 1/3 innings.
• Despite the heavy usage, deGrom owns a 2.76 ERA with a restored upper-90s fastball, while the club has slipped to three games under .500 and six back in the Wild Card race.
