The injuries are part of the game, but sometimes they jeopardize the whole season of some players. The same is with the Texas Rangers’ ace player Jacob deGrom, who is nursing an elbow injury and has been out of action since the last week of April. The Rangers were hopeful of his return to the playing squad, but things have not moved in that direction.
Now some concerning reports are coming out regarding deGrom, who signed for the Rangers on a deal worth $185 million before the start of the season. During a recent press meet, Bruce Bochy, the Rangers manager, shared that deGrom is yet to gain full fitness. It indicates that he will be out of action, but for how long? Let’s understand the situation!

Jacob deGrom is likely to remain out of contention for a start due to his elbow injury. The player suffered this injury during his outing against the New York Yankees.

This situation is certainly what deGrom never wanted to be in. He was playing well before the injury and had a big impact on the team. In six games of the season, deGrom claimed two wins and an ERA of 2.67. He had 45 strikeouts to his name at an astonishing WHIP of 0.76. His absence for a long can impact his season records. Even though the Rangers are doing great at the moment, but would like to have him and maintain the same sharpness for a long.
Baseball fans express their disappointment with a new update on deGrom’s injury
Baseball fans are not happy with the news and advising him to retire from playing. Many claimed that the management should have paid attention to his injury issues before signing him. Others are seeing this as an opportunity for the team to use other players. Others shared that the team is doing fine without him, and should be a big concern for the Rangers.

Fans have shown their displeasure and are not happy with the player. It will now come to deGrom how soon and stronger he can make a comeback and cover up the deficit. What exactly pen out in this case? Only time has an answer to it.
