ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers transferred Jacob deGrom to the 60-day injured list on Monday, pushing back the return of the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner until at least late June.
DeGrom hasn't pitched since April 28, when he exited early because of injury concerns for the second time in a span of three starts. He was placed on the 15-day IL the following day after an MRI showed inflammation in his right elbow. Another MRI and additional testing are now planned.
The transfer to the 60-day IL makes June 28 the earliest he could be activated.
