The Texas Rangers right-hander will have Tommy John surgery for a second time and miss the rest of the season. He is in the first season of a five-year, $185 million contract with the Rangers, but he made just six starts before landing on the injured list.
DeGrom’s injury is just the latest of many ligament tears among big league pitchers this year. Tampa Bay Rays standout Jeffrey Springs, Colorado Rockies Opening Day starter Germán Márquez, Seattle Mariners lefty Robbie Ray, Houston Astros stalwart Luis Garcia, Washington Nationals prospectBut for deGrom, who turns 35 this month, the injury is not exactly a stunner. He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2010, when he was a New York Mets prospect.
Until Tuesday, the Rangers could look forward to getting deGrom back as a midseason boost. Now, they know they must proceed without him.
