Rangers’ deGrom throws bullpen session, indicates progress in return to active roster
ARLINGTON, Texas — Texas Rangers star pitcher Jacob deGrom stated Friday afternoon he has “turned a corner” in returning to the lively roster by throwing a 25-pitch bullpen session.
“For sure, feel like I’ve turned a corner,” stated deGrom, sidelined since April 28 with elbow irritation. “Everything felt good. Definitely headed in the right direction. I’m ready to go back out there.”
The 25-pitch exercise was a step ahead from his earlier session just a few days earlier, when he threw “16 or 18” pitches. The purpose for his subsequent outing will probably be to throw an “up-down,” throughout which he’ll throw, take a break, after which throw once more to simulate what he’ll expertise in a sport.
DeGrom, the two-time NL Cy Young winner who left the New York Mets final December to signal a five-year, $185-million contract with Texas, stated he isn’t prepared to speak about starting a rehab task.
DeGrom (2-0) was positioned on the 15-day injured checklist on April 29, a day after he left a begin towards the New York Yankees within the fourth inning.
DeGrom has made six begins this season, pitching 30 1/3 innings, going so far as seven innings as soon as and throwing a minimum of 90 pitches twice. He has a 2.67 ERA with 45 strikeouts, 4 walks and a .171 opponents’ batting common. The Rangers have gained all of his begins.
