Jacob deGrom Fantasy Stats

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (triceps) got favorable results from an MRI exam on a right-triceps injury that forced him from his last start on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels, according to Theo DeRosa of MLB.com. However, manager Skip Schumaker wasn't overly optimistic when asked about deGrom's chances to start on time against the Washington Nationals at Globe Life Field on Wednesday. "I guess it's possible," Schumaker said. "I don't know how realistic it is, but I think it's always possible. We haven't ruled it out completely." After missing nearly all of 2023 and 2024 after having Tommy John surgery, deGrom hasn't needed a stint on the injured list since. He was an All-Star in 2025 and has posted a 3.95 ERA in 23 starts in 2026. The 15-year veteran felt better on Saturday, but he has yet to resume playing catch, which makes it more unlikely he will start on Wednesday. deGrom is still rostered in almost 100% of Yahoo leagues, but he'll be riskier as a fantasy starter whenever he toes the rubber again. UPDATE: Per The Dallas Morning News' Shawn McFarland, Schumaker said that deGrom responded "really well" to playing catch on Sunday.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (triceps) left his start early on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels with right-triceps fatigue, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. deGrom made it through only two innings in Anaheim, allowing two earned runs on six hits while walking one and striking out three. Although the injury doesn't appear to be very serious, given deGrom's lengthy injury history, his next scheduled start next week against the Washington Nationals is very much up in the air. The 38-year-old veteran and two-time Cy Young winner came into his start on Thursday against the Angels with an 8-7 record, 3.87 ERA (3.27 FIP) and 1.13 WHIP with 144 strikeouts and 30 walks in 118 2/3 innings pitched across his 22 starts. He's been hit or miss in his last five starts, and he could be in danger of missing more time down the stretch due to injury. Although deGrom continues to be an injury risk, he came into Thursday's start with a nice 29.6% strikeout rate, which is why he's still rostered in nearly all of Yahoo leagues. UPDATE: MLB.com's Jacob Gurvis reports that deGrom is expected to undergo imaging on his right triceps on Friday.

The Atlanta Braves informed the Texas Rangers of their desire to land right-hander Jacob deGrom at the trade deadline, people briefed on the discussions told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Other teams also expressed interest in the 38-year-old, and the Rangers told him that they would make a deal happen if he wanted to waive his no-trade clause for Atlanta. But deGrom said no, explaining that he "wanted to win in Texas." He made it clear that when he signed a five-year, $185 million free-agent contract with the Rangers in December of 2022, he wanted to see it through. Texas led the American League West by two games as recently as last Tuesday, but then they lost five straight to fall to two games under .500 and 2.5 games behind the Houston Astros in the division. deGrom, a five-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young winner, currently has a career-worst 3.96 ERA (3.32 FIP) and 1.14 WHIP with 135 strikeouts and 29 walks in 113 2/3 innings across his 21 starts. He'll be looking to bounce back in a solid matchup against the Baltimore Orioles this weekend after allowing five earned runs with five walks and three strikeouts in only 3 1/3 innings in a loss to the Astros last Saturday.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (glute) has been cleared to start Monday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox at Globe Life Field, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. A mild left glute strain caused deGrom to be skipped from his final start of the first half of the season, but he's ready to go now after throwing a bullpen session in Atlanta on Saturday. The matchup against the suddenly competitive White Sox isn't an easy one for his first start of the second half, but the 38-year-old veteran should still probably be considered a must-start for fantasy purposes for his strikeout upside and recent strong run of form. deGrom is 7-5 in 2026 with a 3.49 ERA (3.40 FIP) and 1.01 WHIP with 122 strikeouts and 22 walks in 100 2/3 frames across his 18 starts in his 13th year in the big leagues. The five-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young winner is 4-1 with a 3.07 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 52:10 K:BB in 41 innings over his last seven starts.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (glute) will throw a bullpen session on Saturday and will likely start one of the games at home against the Chicago White Sox in a series that starts on Monday, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. deGrom, who is no stranger to injuries during his career, suffered a mild left-glute injury before the All-Star break, but he will avoid the injured list and return to the starting rotation for the second series of the second half of the season. The 38-year-old veteran continues to have a tough time staying healthy, but when available, the two-time Cy Young winner has stayed relevant in all fantasy leagues and will take a 7-5 record, 3.49 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 122 strikeouts over 100 2/3 innings and 18 starts into the second half of the 2026 season. The five-time All-Star will definitely be riskier in starting fantasy lineups in his first start back coming off his glute injury, and the matchup against the suddenly potent White Sox isn't an ideal one. Despite his age, deGrom is offering a strong 30.4% strikeout rate and 5.5% walk rate.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom's (glute) next start is still to be determined, but he said he was going to play catch during this week's All-Star break and will probably throw off the mound in Atlanta to begin the second half of the season, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. The Rangers have listed their starter for Sunday's series finale against the Braves as TBA, so it's possible that deGrom could return to the starting rotation to take that start. The Rangers scratched deGrom from his final start of the first half with a mild left-glute strain, but if he can get through a bullpen session in the next few days, he could get the green light to return on Sunday. If he needs more time, deGrom could make his first start of the second half next week versus the Chicago White Sox. Either way, the matchups won't be ideal for the two-time Cy Young winner and oft-injured hurler. In 18 starts (100 2/3 innings) in the first half of 2026, the 38-year-old went 7-5 with a 3.49 ERA (3.40 FIP) and 1.01 WHIP with 122 strikeouts and 22 walks for the Rangers. deGrom will continue to be an injury risk for fantasy managers, but he still has high-end strikeout upside and is mostly a must-start when he takes the mound for Texas.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (glute) will not make his scheduled start on Sunday in the series finale against the division-rival Houston Astros due to a mild left-glute strain, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Manager Skip Schumaker said he's unsure if deGrom will be available "right away" after next week's All-Star break. The Rangers haven't placed the veteran starting pitcher on the injured list yet, but it could be inevitable, especially if he's not ready to take his turn in the rotation coming out of the All-Star break. The 38-year-old two-time Cy Young winner and five-time All-Star still has high-end strikeout potential for fantasy managers -- he has a 30.4% strikeout rate in 2026 -- but durability is part of the risk. The 13-year veteran will close out the first half with a 7-5 record, 3.49 ERA (3.41 FIP) and 1.01 WHIP with 122 strikeouts and 22 walks in 100 2/3 innings pitched across his 18 starts. Fantasy managers who have deGrom rostered might have to be patient to begin the second half of 2026, but at least it's not an arm injury.

Texas Rangers veteran right-hander Jacob deGrom had a rough month of May, giving up 18 earned runs on 25 hits (nine home runs) for a 5.72 ERA (5.65 FIP) while walking five and striking out 30 across 28 1/3 innings and five starts. He opened the year by giving up just seven earned runs with seven walks and 40 strikeouts in 31 1/3 frames over his first six starts. Outside of a six-run meltdown on June 19 against the San Diego Padres, deGrom turned things around in June, giving up two runs or fewer in five of his six starts. The 38-year-old gave up just two earned runs with no walks and nine strikeouts over seven innings in his seventh win of the year in his most recent outing on June 30 against the Cleveland Guardians. deGrom has at least eight K's in four of his last six starts, and his arrow is pointing back up now that we're in July. Injuries should always have fantasy managers hesitant to buy, but you can't argue with his 30.3% strikeout rate (93rd percentile) and whiff rate in the 96th percentile. He also has a good upcoming matchup against the Detroit Tigers, a team that ranks 20th in MLB in OPS (.710).

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom looked like his previous Cy Young self in April, going 2-1 with a 1.35 ERA (2.84 FIP), 33 strikeouts, and only seven walks in 26 2/3 innings over his five starts. Although he bounced back on Wednesday by allowing just two earned runs in six innings in a no-decision against the Houston Astros, it was tough sledding for the 37-year-old veteran in May, as he went 1-3 with a 5.72 ERA (5.61 FIP), 30 strikeouts, five walks, and nine home runs allowed in 28 1/3 frames across five starts. Overall, the two-time Cy Young winner has gone 3-4 with a 3.77 ERA (4.16 FIP) and 1.01 WHIP with 70 strikeouts, 12 walks, and a league-high 13 home runs allowed in 59 2/3 innings across 11 starts in his fourth year in Texas. deGrom surely isn't as bad as his numbers would suggest in May, but given his long track record of injuries, buying low on the veteran hurler won't be very attractive to risk-averse fantasy managers. In his three full seasons with the Rangers, deGrom has exceeded 100 innings just once, and he combined for 42 innings in the other two seasons.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom proved on Thursday in the 6-1 win over the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates that he can still be dominant on the mound. deGrom earned his second win of the 2026 season by allowing just one earned run on a solo homer while allowing five hits, walking one, and striking out a season-high 10 in 5 2/3 innings of work. The only run that came against the 37-year-old veteran was an Oneil Cruz homer in the fifth inning. The two-time Cy Young winner and five-time All-Star is fully healthy and has been on point in his first five starts of the season. After Thursday's strong performance against the Bucs, deGrom is sporting a 2-0 record, 2.13 ERA (3.26 FIP), and 1.07 WHIP with 35 strikeouts and only seven walks in 25 1/3 innings pitched. Fantasy managers would have liked to have seen deGrom get one more out for a quality start, but they can't really complain with the way he's started his 13th year in the big leagues. Even though the Rangers continue to play it safe with his workload early on, he's a must-start in fantasy.
