ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom will miss his next scheduled start for the Texas Rangers and won’t be immediately available after next week’s All-Star break with what the club said Friday is a mild left glute 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 is something he’s dealt with throughout his career and has typically worked itself out in time to make his next start.
