ARLINGTON, Texas -- Two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom threw off a mound Monday for the first time since reconstructive right elbow surgery just over a year ago, while the next start for Max Scherzer could be his season debut for the Texas Rangers.
DeGrom threw 15 pitches, none of them breaking balls.
"That went really well," deGrom said. "So one day at a time. I've got two more this week, and then just keep moving forward from there."
DeGrom threw in the bullpen before the Rangers opened a homestand against the New York Mets, his former team, and two days before his 36th birthday.
