ARLINGTON\u00a0\u2014 The\u00a0Rangers<\/a> gained one Florida-born star shortly before the All-Star break but might\u2019ve lost another.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rangers right-handed pitcher Jacob deGrom has a mild left glute strain, manager Skip Schumaker said, and will not make his scheduled start against the Houston\u00a0Astros at Globe Life Field Sunday afternoon. Schumaker isn\u2019t sure if deGrom will be available to pitch \u201cright away\u201d after the All-Star break, either, as the team has yet to determine whether he\u2019ll need time on the injured list to address the issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything with a hip, or lower half, or arm, you\u2019re definitely concerned,\u201d Schumaker said. \u201cWe had a conversation with him, and the way he\u2019s feeling today is better, but you never know until a couple more days of rehab and how he feels. I think the All-Star break is at the right time for him to recover.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rangers have shuffled their best position players on and off of their active roster for the last month. Shortstop Corey\u00a0Seager has played only six games in the last month and\u00a0remains day-to-day with lower back inflammation while left fielder Wyatt Langford returned from a hamstring strain before Thursday\u2019s win.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll now need to determine whether deGrom will need to join the list of sidelined stars.\u00a0His placement on the injured list, if necessary, can be backdated a maximum of three days. If the Rangers were to place deGrom on the injured list Saturday, it can be backdated to Wednesday, and because injured list days do count during the All-Star break, he could return as early as July 23. He has a 3.49 ERA in 18 starts this season and has not needed an injured list stint since he returned from elbow surgery nearly two years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rangers have not yet determined who will start\u00a0\u2014 or if a bullpen game is in order\u00a0\u2014 in his place. They\u2019re already shorthanded in the rotation with right-handed pitcher Jack Leiter on the injured list after ankle surgery. Only three pitchers who opened the season in the rotation are healthy, and Friday, they started right-handed pitcher Cal Quantrill for a third straight turn.\u00a0Schumaker said that left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery\u00a0\u2014 who has made four minor league rehab starts on his way back from elbow surgery\u00a0\u2014 is not an option to start Sunday\u2019s series finale.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ARLINGTON\u00a0\u2014 The\u00a0Rangers gained one Florida-born star shortly before the All-Star break but might\u2019ve lost another.\u00a0 Rangers right-handed pitcher…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":368893,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151,1638,89415,87907,91832,89898],"class_list":["post-368892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news","tag-brief","tag-tp-globe-life-field","tag-tp-arlington","tag-tp-jacob-degrom","tag-tp-skip-schumaker"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368892"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368892\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
