Former Met Jacob deGrom made it through his second rehab stint in impressive fashion and is nearing a possible return for his current club, the Texas Rangers.
The righty threw two scoreless innings for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, which included 24 pitches — 16 of which were strikes — and his fastball reaching 99.5 mph. He has been rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and the belief is that deGrom will make at least one more rehab start — possibly coming Sunday or Tuesday — before he is put back on the active roster.
The two-time CY Young winner threw on four days rest after his first rehab start on Thursday for Double-A Frisco, when he gave up a run on two hits and struck out three batters in a two-inning performance as well. Over the course of the two starts, deGrom has thrown 37 of his 53 total pitches for strikes and the Rangers seem to be willing to allow him to complete some of his rehab in the majors under a very watchful eye.
Though the Rangers’ playoff hopes have become slimmer and slimmer, deGrom seems focused on getting back on the mound for Texas before the end of the year.
