Posterior generated visual for Texas Rangers: deGrom Returns Thursday Despite Triceps Fatigue and Lingering Issues

Jacob deGrom left his most recent start after two innings due to triceps fatigue, prompting the Rangers to give him extra rest by sliding Kumar Rocker ahead of him in the rotation. He is expected to return to the mound Thursday against the Nationals. deGrom has not been placed on the IL this season but has been bothered by hip and glute problems at various points. With Nathan Eovaldi already sidelined, Texas is relying heavily on deGrom as they fight to stay in the AL Wild Card race.
