ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom underwent tests Saturday after early exits in two of his last three starts because of tightness in his lower right forearm near his wrist.
Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said the "same thing cramped up on him again" on Friday night, when deGrom left his start against the New York Yankees with two outs in the fourth inning. That came 11 days after he exited at Kansas City following four hitless innings.
Bochy said before Saturday night's game that the team was still waiting for the results of the ongoing evaluations on the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner, who as a free agent last December signed a $185 million, five-year contract with Texas.
