Jacob deGrom delivered a brilliant performance in Thursday night’s victory over the Nationals, striking out 10 batters over six innings of shutout baseball.

The 38-year-old right-hander allowed just one hit in the contest — a one-out single by Brady House in the second inning — while issuing one base on balls. The Rangers only gave him one run of support in this one and deGrom made sure that it stood up, as no Nationals’ hitter advanced past second base against him in the ballgame. He generated 17 swings and misses on 94 offerings — nine on his slider — while registering a strong CSW of 34 percent. Now 9-8 on the season, he’ll look to further improve upon his 3.78 ERA and 1.13 WHIP when he takes on the White Sox in Chicago on Tuesday.

Jacob deGrom (triceps) will start Thursday’s series finale against the Nationals.

It’s the best-case scenario after deGrom was lifted from his previous start against the Angels after two innings with triceps fatigue. The 38-year-old former fantasy ace made it through a bullpen session earlier this week and will take the ball without missing any additional time. The Rangers are probably going to handle his workload with an abundance of caution, but he’s worth starting in nearly all fantasy leagues until further notice.

Jacob deGrom (triceps) threw a bullpen session on Tuesday.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker told reporters deGrom could potentially start against the Nationals on Thursday. It’s an extremely encouraging development after the 38-year-old veteran left his previous start against the Angels after two innings with triceps fatigue.

Jacob deGrom is dealing with right triceps fatigue, the Rangers said after lifting him Thursday.

DeGrom didn’t come back out after a long second inning that saw him allow two runs. In all, he threw 55 pitches while getting six outs. His velocity was actually very good; he averaged 98.1 mph with his fastball in the first and 97.5 mph in the second, putting him slightly above his season average of 97.3 mph. We’ll probably find out soon whether the Rangers think an IL stint is in the cards.

Jacob deGrom allowed one run over five innings to pick up a win in the Rangers’ 5-1 victory over the Orioles on Saturday.

Over his five innings, DeGrom struck out nine while generating 13 swings and misses. The only blemish was a solo homer by Jackson Holliday in the first inning, and outside of that the 38-year-old was outstanding. It was the first start since deGrom vetoed a trade to Atlanta, and it’s one that should make the Rangers happy he wanted to stay. He has a very friendly matchup on paper scheduled for Thursday against the Angels.

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports that the Braves and Rangers had a deal in place for Jacob deGrom, but the pitcher invoked his no-trade clause.

We knew that the Braves had inquired about deGrom, but it seems that conversations went way beyond that. As Rosenthal reports, “teams do not approach players about waiving no-trade clauses so close to the deadline unless something is done.” Given how close the Rangers were to moving deGrom this week, it’s possible those conversations could begin again in the offseason. For the Braves’ part, Rosenthal notes that “other than Skubal and deGrom, they did not view [other] pitchers as difference-makers, or even better than what they had.” We’ll see if that view comes back to haunt them this season.

Jacob deGrom told the Rangers he’d invoke his no-trade clause if the team tried to move him, sources told The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

The Braves reportedly had inquired about deGrom, who is making $38 million in the fourth year of a five-year, $185 million contract. He has full no-trade protection.

Jacob deGrom allowed five runs in 3 1/3 innings and took the loss against the Astros on Saturday.

deGrom gave up seven hits, walked five and struck out three. He fell to 7-7 with the loss. deGrom has now allowed five runs in two of his last three starts. He has a 3.96 ERA, which would be the worst of his career in a single-season. deGrom is lined up to face the Orioles at home next weekend.

Jacob deGrom surrendered one run in five-plus innings Sunday against the Mariners.

DeGrom gave up two singles to start the sixth inning, but Robby Ahlstrom was able to strand both runners after taking over, maintaining the Rangers’ 3-1 lead. That, however, disappeared during the Mariners’ four-run seventh inning. As a result, deGrom remained winless in three starts this month. He’ll take a 7-6 record and a 3.67 ERA into his next start against the Astros.

Jacob deGrom gave up five runs in 4 2/3 innings to take a loss to the White Sox on Monday.

Making his first start in 17 days after dealing with a glute issue, deGrom was able to get through four innings allowing just one run, but he gave up four hits and a walk during a four-run fifth that saw him get pulled with two outs. The loss dropped him to 7-6 with a 3.76 ERA. He’ll probably be sharper next time out against the Mariners.

Jose Cabrera will start against the Giants on Thursday.

Cabrera last started for Arizona back on July 8. He’ll get the ball in place of Kohl Drake. The 24-year-old rookie right-hander allowed 11 runs on 20 hits with a 12/7 K/BB ratio across 17 2/3 innings over four starts for the Diamondbacks earlier this season. He doesn’t miss enough bats to be a streaming consideration for fantasy managers.

Roki Sasaki was removed from Wednesday’s start against the Braves with a blister on his right middle finger.

Sasaki departed with one out in the fourth inning after throwing 66 pitches (42 strikes). He was charged with four runs on six hits, including a solo homer by Matt Olson. He struck out three and issued two walks. The 24-year-old hasn’t dealt with blister issues this season, which means that his exit was likely precautionary. There should be an update on his status in the coming days. His next start will be against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Dustin May was removed from Wednesday’s start against the Mets with a right shoulder contusion.

The encouraging news here is that X-rays came back negative after May was drilled by a 106-mph line drive from Mets rookie A.J. Ewing on the very first pitch of the ballgame. It sounds like there’s a chance he’ll be ready to make his next start against the Cubs early next week.

Héctor Rodriguez went 3-for-6 with two homers, two RBI, and two runs scored as the Reds defeated the Giants 10-9 on Wednesday.

Rodriguez hit a solo shot in the third inning to tie the game at two, and he homered again in the ninth on a ball that left the bat at 115.3 mph. Cincinnati began that inning down six and came all the way back to take the lead. Rodriguez hasn’t been playing every day since he was called up on August 4, but he hit leadoff on Wednesday. With their season not going anywhere, one figures the Reds will give the 22-year-old some runway down the stretch.

Nick Lodolo received a no-decision on Wednesday against the Giants, allowing four runs on six hits over four innings pitched.

Lodolo struck out five and walked two. He gave up two homers, one on a hanging breaking ball to Rafael Devers. The left-hander has been on the injured list twice this season with blister issues, and he’s admitted to working through adjustments to his pitch grips lately. He’ll carry a disappointing 5.24 ERA into his next start against the Padres.

Emilio Pagán struck out two in a scoreless ninth to earn the save in Wednesday’s 10-9 win over the Giants.

That makes 17 saves for Pagán this season. He missed time earlier in the year but regained Cincinnati’s locked-in closer role upon returning. He’s allowed just three earned runs in 15 innings since the All-Star break.

Logan Webb received a no-decision in Wednesday’s quality start against the Reds, allowing two runs on five hits over six innings.

Webb struck out six and walked one. He allowed a solo homer to Hector Rodriguez but otherwise pitched well enough to win. San Francisco’s bullpen blew a six-run lead in the ninth, robbing him of the victory. Landen Roupp was originally scheduled to start this one before the Giants swapped his rotation spot with Webb. His next start lines up on the road against the Pirates.

Eugenio Suárez went 2-for-5 with a grand slam as the Reds defeated the Giants 10-9 on Wednesday.

Cincinnati entered the ninth trailing by six, and Suárez’s grand slam made it a one-run game before any outs were recorded. The veteran DH hasn’t had the season Reds fans or fantasy managers hoped for after last year’s 49-homer eruption. On the positive side, Suárez has played enough at the hot corner this season to retain third base eligibility heading into 2027.

Sal Stewart went 0-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, and a run scored as the Reds defeated the Giants 10-9 on Wednesday.

Stewart becomes the first player to reach 100 RBI this season. It has been a terrific rookie campaign for the 22-year-old. Stewart also has 28 homers and 12 stolen bases, plus he’s eligible at first, third, and second in certain formats. He has made only seven starts at second base, so his playing time there will be worth monitoring over the season’s final month-plus.

Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, and two RBI as the Giants fell to the Reds 10-9 on Wednesday.

Devers’ homer came on a hanging breaking ball from Nick Lodolo, which he promptly deposited into McCovey Cove. It marked the third straight contest in which he homered, giving him 29 on the year. He has once again rebounded after a concerningly slow start to the season. Devers is now one homer away from becoming the second Giant since 2005 to connect for 30. Willy Adames accomplished that feat on the final day of the 2025 regular season.
