ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers said Tuesday night an MRI on Jacob deGrom’s right knee showed no issues, a few hours after the two-time Cy Young Award winner indicated everything checked out OK after his most recent start.

DeGrom experienced some mild knee discomfort before he pitched Monday night against Seattle, and was limited to 78 pitches over five innings because the Rangers didn’t want to push the 37-year-old right-hander too hard. He allowed only one hit in his 250th career start, a first-inning homer to Cal Raleigh in the Rangers’ 2-1 win. He struck out six and walked one before leaving with the game tied 1-1.
