deGrom is enjoying a renaissance season but is there a reason to worry?
The looming question that just will not go away during Jacob deGrom's stint with the Rangers has been "How healthy is his arm?" The answer this year is pretty healthy but the team has undoubtedly been safe about it all year.
Rangers clubhouse management have played it safe all season with every pitcher in the staff. Incredibly clutch gap starts from Jacob Latz have allowed deGrom, Tyler Mahle, Nathan Eovaldi, Jack Leiter and now Merrill Kelly get extra rest allowing the group to pace themselves.
