Jacob deGrom To Take The Mound On Sunday
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) is scheduled to make his first start of the spring against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. The 34-year-old has been slowly working his way back from a side issue. He threw a 24-pitch simulated game on Tuesday. The expectation is that he'll throw two or three innings during his first start. The team isn't going to have him fully built up in time for Opening Day. The Rangers are going to be extremely cautious with deGrom. When healthy, deGrom is an ace, but keeping him on the field has been a problem throughout his career.

Rangers Jacob deGromJacob deGrom Likely To Be On Pitch Count Early On
Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) is likely to be on a pitch count to start the 2023 regular season. Nathan Eovaldi, who is also working his way through left side tightness in spring training, will probably be limited to around 75-80 pitches to begin the year as well. It puts a damper on their fantasy upside to begin the season, but both right-handers appear to be coming along well after initially reporting their injuries in camp. deGrom recently threw two innings in a minor-league game, and the good news is that the 34-year-old won't have to start the year on the injured list. deGrom is a risk/reward fantasy ace that has seen his fair share of injuries with the New York Mets in recent years.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) posted a strong outing during his start in Double-A on Monday. The right-hander struck out five batters while allowing one-run over two innings of work. It's also worth noting that deGrom threw 20 of his 24 pitches for strikes in this outing. The next step is for deGrom to make his spring debut, barring any setbacks. The 34-year-old should be good for Opening Day, but fantasy managers shouldn't get ahead of themselves. There will likely be another update on deGrom within the next few days.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) will start the team's Double-A spring game on a back field on Monday. deGrom threw a successful bullpen session on Saturday and is now ready to make his debut in a spring game, albeit in a minor-league setting. If all goes well on Monday, the 34-year-old two-time Cy Young winner should be set to make his Cactus League debut in his next appearance. Left side tightness early in camp caused the Rangers to shut deGrom down for a bit, but he's ramped up and ready to go now. Barring a setback, he'll be good to go for Opening Day, although Texas could limit his workload initially to keep him healthy early on. When he's not injured, deGrom is a clear fantasy ace.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) looked pretty loose on Saturday morning while throwing a bullpen session in camp. If he comes out of the session on Sunday feeling fine, deGrom could make his Cactus League debut as early as Monday. The 34-year-old right-hander experienced some left side tightness early in spring training and was shut down as a precaution, but he's looked good ever since he resumed throwing and will have time to be ready for Opening Day in his first year in Texas. The Rangers could take it easy on the two-time Cy Young winner out of the gates given his extensive recent injury history, but when he's healthy, there's no doubt that he still possesses ace potential for fantasy managers.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) will throw a bullpen session on Saturday. If all goes well with the session, he will make his Cactus League debut on Monday. deGrom has worked his way back from left side soreness at the beginning of spring training, and barring another setback, he should be ready for Opening Day in late March. He looked good in a live batting practice session on Wednesday, hitting the upper-90s with his fastball. It's understandable if fantasy managers are hesitant to consider the two-time Cy Young winner as a fantasy ace in his first year with Texas because of all the injuries and time missed over the last several seasons with the New York Mets.

If everything goes well, Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) could make his Cactus League debut as early as Monday. deGrom suffered from left side tightness early in spring training and has been brought along slowly, but he sat in the upper-90s during a 35-pitch live batting practice session on Wednesday and looked good. Barring a setback, deGrom should make his way into spring games and could be ready for Opening Day in his first season in Texas. The two-time Cy Young winner has become much more of an injury risk over the last few seasons, but when healthy, there's no denying he still has ace potential. The 34-year-old right-hander hasn't made more than 15 starts in any of the last three seasons due to injuries.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (side) will throw to live hitters in spring training on Wednesday. deGrom is expected to throw around 30 pitches on Wednesday, and barring any kind of setback, he should be ready for Opening Day at the end of March after initially feeling left side tightness early in camp. The 34-year-old right-hander still has ace potential, but he's become much riskier in fantasy drafts given his recent injury history. If he gets through the rest of spring training unfazed while looking strong, fantasy managers will feel a little bit more comfortable taking him as a fantasy ace in his first year with the Rangers.
