The Oklahoma City club will face its third former Cy Young Award winner this season Tuesday.
It's his second rehab start for the Frisco RoughRiders, the Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers.Incredibly, deGrom will be the fourth multiple Cy Young Award winner to pitch in a game involving OKC this season, joining Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, and Blake Snell.' Triple-A affiliate is kicking off a weeklong series in Round Rock, Texas. DeGrom is eyeing a September return following Tommy John surgery.
DeGrom has not played in a major league game since April 28, 2013. He was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament afterward. When he was briefly healthy after signing a five-year contract with the Rangers, deGrom made six starts and went 2-0 with a 2.67 ERA and 45 strikeouts. Staying on the field has been a struggle for deGrom though. He has not started more than 15 games in a season since 2019. He started at least 30 games in four of five seasons from 2015-19 before the COVID-19 pandemic and injuries limited him in 2020. He dealt with elbow inflammation in 2021, a stress fracture in his right scapula in 2022, and then a torn UCL last year.
In that game, Scherzer gave up one hit, no earned runs, and struck out five in four innings. He has gone on to the Rangers, starting eight games for the team across June and July and posting a 3.89 ERA for that time.
