Despite being sidelined due to injury, star pitcher Jacob deGrom is making a significant impact on the Texas Rangers' World Series run by keeping the team's spirits high with his pranks and lightheartedness. Known for his sense of humor and camaraderie, deGrom has become an integral part of the team, providing support and encouragement to his teammates. While he wishes he could be on the field, deGrom is fully invested in the Rangers' success and is doing everything he can to contribute to their historic journey.
The Texas Rangers enjoyed a comeback win against the Blue Jays, with the bottom of the lineup stepping up. Jacob deGrom is rehabbing following UCL surgery and hopes to return in August of next year, taking the Jake Odorizzi route of being a useful teammate. The Rangers are predicted to take prep OF Walker Jenkins with the No. 4 overall pick in the MLB draft. Despite a rough week, the Rangers remain at No. 3 in the latest MLB Power Rankings.
With Jacob deGrom out for a year-and-a-half due to Tommy John surgery, the Texas Rangers are reportedly considering former Yankees lefty Jordan Montgomery as a viable replacement. Montgomery has a 2-7 record this season, but has a better-than-league average earned run average of 4.23 and possesses positive attributes such as walking only 6.2 percent of batters he's faced and having a 3.37 strikeout-to-walk rate. Montgomery is on a one-year deal with about $6 million left and is likely to leave St. Louis as a free agent at the end of the season.
With Jacob deGrom facing another setback, let's take a look at 20 MLB players whose Hall of Fame careers were derailed by injuries, including Don Mattingly, Dustin Pedroia, David Wright, Nomar Garciaparra, Johan Santana, and Stephen Strasburg. While some, like Joe Mauer, may still make it to Cooperstown, injuries have prevented others from reaching their full potential and securing a spot in the Hall of Fame.
Jacob deGrom's second Tommy John surgery won't end his career, but it might squash his Hall of Fame chances. DeGrom has been one of the best pitchers in baseball history in terms of run prevention, keeping runners off base and strikeout-to-walk ratio. However, his Hall of Fame case moving forward is hindered by his low number of career wins, strikeouts, and innings pitched. Needing to miss such a large chunk of the remainder of his career due to this surgery makes things that much more unlikely.
Texas Rangers' ace pitcher Jacob deGrom will undergo Tommy John surgery, ending his season and leaving the team without their $185 million contract player for a while. While the Rangers have pitching depth, deGrom's injury may make them more willing to shop for starting pitching ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline. The AL West race remains tight, with the Houston Astros still favored to claim the title. DeGrom intends to be back before Year 2 is over, but the circumstances don't align with other successful Tommy John comeback stories. The big pitcher contract remains risky, but there's a sense within baseball that the aging curve might be changing in favor of older players.
Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom will have season-ending surgery next week to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The team signed deGrom to a $185 million, five-year deal in free agency last winter, despite him coming off two injury-plagued seasons with the New York Mets. The extent of the surgery required is not yet known, but Tommy John surgery is often needed to fix a torn UCL. The Rangers are off to the best start in franchise history, but will now be without deGrom until at least next year.
Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom will undergo surgery to repair his ulnar collateral ligament, causing him to miss the rest of the 2023 season and likely much of 2024. This marks the latest setback in deGrom's career, which has been plagued by injuries. The announcement of his surgery follows the news that Stephen Strasburg may have thrown the final pitch of his career. The injuries to these two aces highlight the risks of signing pitchers to big, long-term contracts. Despite deGrom's absence, the Rangers have been performing well with a strong rotation led by Nathan Eovaldi and Jon Gray.
The Texas Rangers signed Jacob deGrom to a five-year, $185 million contract despite his history of injuries, and now they have flushed $70 million down the toilet as he undergoes surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament. DeGrom will be sidelined for a minimum of 12 months, and realistically won't be pitching again for the Rangers until 2025. The Rangers don't have an insurance policy on him, and this is just the latest elbow injury to a star performer this season.
