The first two years of Jacob deGrom's contract with the Rangers were mainly spent on the IL.
He made just three starts towards the end of last season as he was recovering from a second Tommy John surgery, but after having a healthy offseason and full spring training, he's finally ready to roll.
The right-hander is officially back and delivering the type of performances Texas was expecting when they handed him a big money five-year deal a couple of winters back -- Wednesday night was another one of those.
Taking the mound against the high-powered Yankees lineup in his first New York start since the 2022 National League Wild Card round, deGrom put together seven strong innings of work.
