deGrom's Knee: Rangers Holding Breath

0:00It's April 7th. From first pitch to the final out, this is MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Texas Rangers ace Jacob DeGrom, got an MRI on his right knee, Tuesday morning after feeling some discomfort during his pregame warm-up Monday night. This came before their 2-1 win over the Mariners at Globe Live Field, where he still delivered a solid start. In that outing, DeGrom win 5 innings, giving up just one run on 78 pitches. The coaching staff pulled him early to avoid any risk, even though he wanted to keep going into the 6th. Manager Skip Shoemaker noted it was just a little something in the bullpen, nothing that messed with his performance much. DeGrom himself called it tender, but figured he'd be fine, especially since he felt okay Tuesday morning, if a bit sore. He hasn't done any baseball activities yet, and the team is playing it safe with their star pitcher. Shoemaker plans to give more updates after the second game of the series against Seattle.

1:01For now, Rangers fans are holding their breath, hoping this is minor so DeGrom can stay dominant down the stretch. We'll keep watching how it plays out.
