ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) 鈥� Two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom will miss his next scheduled start for the Texas Rangers and won鈥檛 be immediately available after next week鈥檚 All-Star break with what manager Skip Schumaker said Friday is a glute and hip strain.
The 38-year-old deGrom was pulled from his most recent start last Tuesday after 80 pitches and five innings. He said then the strain on his front leg is something he鈥檚 dealt with throughout his career and has typically worked itself out in time to make his next start.
Schumaker said placing deGrom on the injured list is a possibility, but the hope is that skipping Sunday鈥檚 start against the Houston Astros and then having the four-day break will allow deGrom to avoid the IL.
鈥淲e鈥檙e just kind of wait and see how he recovers,鈥� Schumaker said. 鈥淚 think the All-Star break is at the right time for him to recover.鈥�
DeGrom is 7-5 with a 3.49 ERA in 18 starts.
