Rangers’ Jacob deGrom can miss 2 weeks

Texas Rangers installed Jacob deGrom to the 15 days injury list today with right elbow problems after playing a little in 2 of his last 3 beginnings.

While leaving those matches was just a precaution, today, the GM of the franchise shared that the MRI scan revealed tenderness in his elbow.

“There’s no need to pressure him,” the general manager said. “He came in today and felt alright, which is good news, but given how crucial Jacob is to the franchise and our year, we will treat this very carefully and see how deGrom reacts over the next few days to the medical care.”
