Bad news for the Rangers: Their big offseason grab isn’t 100 percent.
Jacob deGrom, who left the team’s last game, was placed on the injured list due to inflammation in his elbow.
Of course, we suspected this was going to happen. deGrom, over the course of his career, has never really been able to kick off a full season injury-free.
Rangers knowingly signed him (dearly) anyway.
It was thanks to him in particular that the Rangers were at the top of the American League West, which means that his absence hurts.
If his absence lasts more than 15 days, it will hurt the chances of making the playoffs.
Remember that currently, the Rangers must also deal without Corey Seager, who is on the sidelines and whose absence hurts.
Let’s see if deGoat returns in May… or July, gender.
