Jacob deGrom Fantasy Stats

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (knee) expects to make his next start on his normal turn in the starting rotation, according to Jeff Wilson of All City DLLS. deGrom said that his right knee, which has no structural damage, feels much better on Wednesday. The Rangers pulled deGrom from his last outing early on Monday against the Seattle Mariners as a precaution due to discomfort in his right knee, but testing showed no structural damage, and he's expected to make his next scheduled start this weekend against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's great news for the Rangers and for fantasy managers, especially since the 37-year-old veteran has had a tough time staying healthy later in his career. The five-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young winner has a 3.72 ERA and 0.83 WHIP with 13 strikeouts and one walk in 9 2/3 innings in his first two starts of 2026. He's typically a must-start in fantasy lineups, but managers will want to think twice before deploying him against L.A. while coming off an injury scare.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom's (knee) MRI results showed no structural damage in his right knee, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. It was an old injury that flared up. deGrom is scheduled to throw his normal between-starts bullpen to test it out, but the team isn't expecting him to miss a start. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief that the oft-injured 37-year-old veteran will avoid a trip to the injured list early in the 2026 season. deGrom was pulled from his start on Monday night against the Seattle Mariners as a precaution when he felt tenderness in his knee. The two-time Cy Young winner is typically a must-start in fantasy, but you may want to think twice about that in his next scheduled outing coming off injury against the defending World Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers on the road. deGrom has so far allowed four earned runs on seven hits (two homers) while walking one and striking out 13 in 9 2/3 innings over his two starts.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (knee) underwent an MRI on his right knee on Tuesday. Rangers' manager Skip Schumaker said the team should find out more following Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The right-hander was lifted from Monday's start after five innings due to knee soreness. It sounds like deGrom played down the injury, but the team wanted to get imaging done anyway. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Tuesday night or Wednesday for a better update on his status. For now, deGrom is day-to-day, but a better timetable should be available soon.

Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said that right-hander Jacob deGrom (knee) felt something in his knee before his start on Monday against the division-rival Seattle Mariners, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. The Rangers didn't want to push the oft-injured deGrom too hard, which is why he only went 78 pitches in the 2-1 win in the series opener. deGrom managed to make it five innings but took a no-decision, allowing an earned run on a solo homer while walking one and striking out six. "I feel OK, it's a little tender, but I think we'll be okay," said deGrom. Fantasy managers familiar with deGrom's injury history won't be surprised if his next start is pushed back or if he lands on the 15-day injured list eventually. deGrom will be a much riskier fantasy starter in his next outing after dealing with knee discomfort, as he's set to face the World Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The 37-year-old two-time Cy Young winner allowed three earned runs with no walks and seven strikeouts in 4 2/3 frames in his first start of 2026 against the Orioles.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (neck stiffness) will start Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles, according to an announcement from the team. deGrom was scratched from his scheduled season debut last week due to neck stiffness, but he only missed one start and will now make his season debut on Tuesday. The veteran right-hander can be an elite pitcher when healthy, but starts have been hard to come by due to his recent injury history. He made just 22 total appearances from 2022-2024 before returning for 30 starts in a healthy 2025 campaign. Across those 30 starts (172.2 innings) last year, he posted a 3.37 xFIP with 9.64 K/9, 1.93 BB/9, and a 37.8% ground ball rate. He allowed more loud contact than usual, including a career-worst 1.36 HR/9. However, he still managed to be a highly effective starter in the Rangers' rotation and ultimately posted his highest fWAR total since 2021. As long as he can stay healthy this year, deGrom should continue to be one of the most dependable starters in baseball. He currently ranks #12 among starting pitchers in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings for 2026.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (neck) said his stiff neck feels "much better" on Sunday, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. deGrom played catch from 120 feet, which he couldn't do on Saturday before he was scratched from his first start of the 2026 season against the Philadelphia Phillies. The veteran hurler still feels it a bit, but he's hopeful that he can start in Baltimore against the Orioles this week. deGrom woke up Saturday morning with a stiff neck, and the Rangers decided not to take any chances with the oft-injured 37-year-old veteran. If the two-time Cy Young winner is cleared to take the ball for his first start of the year, it will likely come on either Tuesday or Wednesday at Camden Yards. deGrom was an All-Star for the fifth time in his career in 2025 and made 30 starts, but from 2021 to 2024, he made a total of just 35 starts for the Mets and Rangers due to injuries. He'll be a bit riskier against Baltimore if he ends up starting this coming week.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (neck) said he woke up on Saturday with a stiff neck, which is why he was scratched from his scheduled outing in Philadelphia against the Phillies, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. The Rangers decided not to push it with the oft-injured veteran, and deGrom feels "confident" that he'll make a start on the current road trip. It's good news for the Rangers and for fantasy managers, but it's also another reminder that it's hard to trust the 37-year-old veteran when it comes to durability. On the bright side, it's good news that it's not related to deGrom's arm. Jacob Latz will make the spot start on Saturday versus the Phillies. As of right now, deGrom is tentatively scheduled to start on Tuesday at Camden Yards against the Baltimore Orioles. He'll be more of a risky fantasy play in that matchup in his first start of the 2026 season if he makes it.

Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom (neck) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies due to neck stiffness. Left-hander Jacob Latz will make the start in deGrom's place. After failing to reach 100 innings pitched in four consecutive seasons from 2021 through 2024 due to multiple different arm injuries, deGrom finally put together a healthy campaign in 2025. Across 172 2/3 innings (30 starts), the 37-year-old recorded a 12-8 record with a 2.97 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and 185 strikeouts. On the bright side, deGrom's current issue is not arm-related, and he may simply need to be pushed back a few days before he can make his first start of 2026. However, any injury issue for deGrom is a concern for fantasy managers, given his extensive track record of missed time in recent years. Texas wraps up its series with the Phillies on Sunday before heading to Baltimore for a three-game set with the Orioles that begins on Monday evening.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom will officially make his spring debut against Team Brazil in an exhibition game on Wednesday. Over the weekend, Rangers manager Skip Schumaker told reporters that deGrom was getting close to making his spring debut. It appears the right-hander is ready to go after a 30-pitch bullpen session last week. The 37-year-old managed to stay healthy last season and posted his first 30-start season since the 2019 campaign. When healthy, deGrom is a top-10 starting pitcher in the league, but his injury history is concerning.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom is reportedly getting close to making his spring debut. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said deGrom threw a 30-pitch side session over the weekend. He continued by saying that deGrom will make his Cactus League debut really soon. Given his injury history, deGrom has been eased into spring action. The plan is for deGrom to make three or four appearances before camp concludes. This is the same pitching plan they had deGrom use last season, and that worked out extremely well in the long run. The right-hander posted a 2.97 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a 185/37 K/BB ratio across 30 starts in 2025. If healthy, deGrom can be a top-10 fantasy option.
