Jacob deGrom to Skip Next Start for Shoulder Fatigue, Not IL Bound

The Texas Rangers are skipping Jacob deGrom's scheduled start this week due to shoulder fatigue, though the club emphasizes this is a workload management decision and he is not expected to be placed on the injured list. Examinations by Dr. Keith Meister revealed clean results, indicating the five-time All-Star could return to pitch as early as next week. DeGrom has pitched 140 1/3 innings across 24 starts this season, which is his highest total since 2019, following previous shoulder issues and Tommy John surgery.
