Overview

  • Jacob deGrom, who felt right-knee tenderness in the bullpen Monday, worked five innings on 78 pitches in a 2-1 win over Seattle.
  • The only hit he allowed was a first-inning home run to Cal Raleigh after a 12-pitch at-bat, with six strikeouts and one walk.
  • Texas capped his night at 78 pitches as manager Skip Schumaker said he would not push the pitcher through discomfort.
  • The Rangers said Tuesday they are awaiting MRI results on the knee, and deGrom moved around without a limp and said he felt OK.
  • Monday marked his 250th career start, and his careful ramp-up follows a March 28 scratch for neck stiffness and last year’s AL Comeback Player of the Year after a second elbow reconstruction.
