Injuries continue to mire Texas Rangers starter Jacob deGrom, and his latest is going to knock him out for the remainder of the 2023 season.
According to the Dallas Morning News, deGrom, who was moved to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, needs elbow surgery to repair a tear to his ulnar collateral ligament in this throwing elbow.
It is unknown whether deGrom needs traditional Tommy John surgery or will have an internal brace. The Dallas Morning News said Dr. Keith Meister, who will be performing the surgery, won’t know the extent of the injury until deGrom is under the knife.

“This stinks,” deGrom said, via The Dallas Morning News. “It’s not ideal. But at least we know what it is now. I want to get it fixed and will set a goal to be back before the end of next year.”
This is a developing story. More to come.
