ARLINGTON, Texas -- Two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom began throwing from 90 feet Monday, another step in his rehab from right elbow surgery 10 months ago with the hope of pitching for the Texas Rangers down the stretch this season.

While deGrom, a right-hander, started playing catch at the start of spring training, he has now progressed from 75 to 90 feet. He made 25 throws in the outfield from that longer distance, which he will continue through this week with the plan to then increase to 50 throws for a week, and 75 for another week after that.
