Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Surrenders pair of homers
Rotowire
DeGrom (10-3) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the Angels. He struck out eight.
The ace wasn't at his sharpest Monday, surrendering a two-run homer to light-hitting Kevin Newman in the third inning and a solo shot to Taylor Ward in the sixth inning. DeGrom's final outing of July ended on a sour note, but he had been dominant since June 1 with a 6-0 record, 2.13 ERA and 0.82 WHIP over nine starts and 55 innings.

Rotowire

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Submits quality start
Rotowire
DeGrom allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Saturday.
DeGrom closed out the first half by logging quality starts in seven of his last eight outings, going 5-0 with 12 runs allowed over 49 innings in that span. He was a bit unfortunate Saturday, serving up solo home runs to Jose Altuve and Yainer Diaz, which makes this deGrom's fourth outing with multiple homers allowed. He's still been otherwise dominant -- and more importantly, healthy -- in 2025, posting a 2.32 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 113:24 K:BB across 112.1 innings over 19 starts. He's already at his heaviest workload since 2019, so it'll be something to keep an eye on with how he holds up after the All-Star break.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Goes five frames in no-decision
Rotowire
DeGrom completed five innings against the Angels on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters.
DeGrom gave up three runs over his first two frames and escaped a bases-loaded jam in the third. He settled down after that and retired seven of the final eight batters he faced, but the early struggles resulted in an elevated pitch count, and deGrom was pulled after having thrown 95 pitches over five innings. Though the right-hander's 14-game streak of allowing two or fewer runs came to an end, he extended his streak of starts without a loss to seven. DeGrom was an easy choice for an All-Star berth, as he's compiled a 2.29 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 105:23 K:BB over 106.1 innings. He's scheduled for one more start before that exhibition contest, slated for this weekend in Houston.

Rotowire

It's the fifth straight quality start for deGrom, who's gone 4-0 with a 1.41 ERA in that span (32 innings). His ERA is down to a sparkling 2.08 on the season with a 0.91 WHIP and 94:20 K:BB across 16 starts (95.1 innings).

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Takes no-decision
Rotowire
DeGrom settled for a no-decision after throwing six innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out six during Saturday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.
DeGrom turned in another great performance, allowing two or fewer runs over five-plus innings for the 11th straight start. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that he hasn't allowed more than five hits in a game since late April. The 36-year-old has a 2.19 ERA this year, which is seventh best in MLB. He'll have a chance to continue that domination against a struggling Royals offense, which he is tentatively scheduled to face in his next start.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Masterful in sixth win
Rotowire
DeGrom (6-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing two hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings against Washington. He struck out eight.
DeGrom was virtually unhittable against Washington on Saturday. The right-hander's fastball might be down a few ticks from his peak velocity (it's averaging 97.1 mph in 2025), but he's been as dominant as ever, posting a 1.66 ERA and 0.85 WHIP across 43.1 innings in his past seven starts. With a 2.12 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 76.1 innings in 13 outings overall in 2025, the 36-year-old is reasserting himself as one of the game's premier pitchers.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Rebounds for fifth win
Rotowire
DeGrom (5-2) earned the win Sunday over the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out four.
DeGrom issued a leadoff walk in the first inning to Lars Nootbaar, who eventually came around to score on Willson Contreras' two-out single. However, deGrom limited the damage from there, holding the Cardinals scoreless over his final five frames to earn his fifth win and quality start. The 36-year-old deGrom hasn't had his swing-and-miss stuff recently, though he's found success regardless -- he held St. Louis to just two hard-hit balls Sunday. Overall, deGrom sports a 2.34 ERA with a 0.98 WHIP and 66:17 K:BB across 12 starts (69.1 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Nationals on the road in his next outing.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Struggles to put hitters away
Rotowire
DeGrom (4-2) took the loss Monday against the Blue Jays after allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in 5.1 innings. He failed to record a strikeout.
It was notably the first time in deGrom's illustrious career that he was unable to register a single punchout, as he whiffed just three Monday. Even so, it was the star right-hander's eighth consecutive start throwing at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer, and he boasts a 1.85 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 49:8 K:BB covering his last 48.2 frames. Manager Bruce Bochy noted after the game that deGrom was pulled after 81 pitches as a precaution after racking up high pitch counts in his last two starts, per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com. Next up for deGrom is a tough matchup at home versus the Cardinals, which is set to come this weekend.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Lowers arm angle
Rotowire
DeGrom's average arm angle in 2025 is at 30 degrees, the lowest its been in five years since Statcast began tracking arm angles, David Adler of MLB.com reports.
The lower arm angle appears to be working for deGrom, who is delivering results similar to what he did during his Cy Young seasons of 2018 and 2019. "When [my arm angle] climbs," deGrom said this week, "I noticed I got a little bit more sore. So I was just trying to do what's best for health. And now I feel like with the slot that I'm at right now, I've been able to recover really well in between." Over his last three starts, the right-hander struck out 10 over five innings against the Tigers, shut out the Astros through eight frames and then held the Yankees in check over seven innings.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Dominates in six shutout innings
Rotowire
DeGrom (1-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Athletics after allowing four hits and no walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner found himself in vintage form Tuesday, producing 16 whiffs while delivering his first scoreless outing since his first start of the season. While he did toss a season-low 65 pitches, the oft-injured deGrom's reduced workload was likely a byproduct of the Rangers taking a commanding 12-0 lead in the sixth inning. After a shaky first three starts of the year, during which he conceded four homers, the right-hander has a sparkling 1.47 ERA and 20:1 K:BB over his last three appearances (18.1 innings). DeGrom's next start is set to come this weekend at home against the hard-hitting Mariners, who entered Tuesday ranked third in MLB in home runs (42).

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
DeGrom (0-1) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out seven over seven innings, taking the loss versus the Dodgers on Friday.
This is the definition of a hard-luck loss -- deGrom gave up a solo home run to Tommy Edman on the second pitch of the game, and that was the difference. DeGrom threw 61 of 96 pitches for strikes in this strong start, so his workload limitations look to be just about gone after his fourth outing. This was deGrom's first quality start of the season, and it was a strong bounce-back effort after he allowed three runs, including two home runs, on three hits and four walks over four innings against the Mariners last Friday. For the season, the right-hander has a 3.32 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB across 21.2 innings, though he's also given up five homers.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Shaky again in no-decision
Rotowire
DeGrom didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Mariners, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks in four innings. He struck out four.
The star right-hander wasn't at his best Friday, giving up two solo home runs and failing to throw a clean inning. Through three starts (14.2 innings), deGrom has a 4.30 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB. The Rangers are being cautious with the oft-injured deGrom's workload to begin the season, and he'll be looking to reach the 90-pitch threshold for the first time this year in a home matchup against the Angels in the middle of next week.
