August 20, 2025 03:45 PM

James Schiano analyzes the Rangers skipping Jacob deGrom's next start due to shoulder fatigue, sharing why it is "hard not to be terrified" that this update "could be the end to a fantastic comeback season" for deGrom.

Rotoworld Player News

All Player News

Luis Mey

CIN Relief Pitcher #62

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Reds optioned RHP Luis Mey to Triple-A Louisville.

Mey heads back to the minors after registering an encouraging 3.43 ERA across 21 innings (23 appearances) this season in the majors. The hard-throwing 24-year-old rookie should return at some point in September once rosters expand.
Kyle Karros

COL 3rd Baseman #12

Kyle Karros (back) is not in the lineup for Thursday’s series finale against the Dodgers.

Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer told reporters Karros is dealing with back tightness, which has kept him out for two straight contests. The 23-year-old rookie hit his first career homer earlier this week and is batting .270 (10-for-37) with five RBI in 12 games since arriving in the big leagues earlier this month. It’ll be Orlando Arica at the hot corner in his absence.
Teoscar Hernandez

LAD Right Fielder #37

Teoscar Hernández is on the bench for Thursday’s series finale against the Rockies.

Hernández will get the afternoon matinee off after slugging his 21st dinger of the season during Wednesday night’s showdown. He’s gone deep three times over his last seven contests. It’ll be Alex Call patrolling right field on Thursday in his place.
Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani (thigh) is absent from the lineup for Thursday’s showdown against the Rockies.

Ohtani was scheduled to sit out Thursday’s series finale prior to suffering a right thigh contusion during Wednesday’s start at Coors Field when he was struck by a comebacker. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism afterwards that the 31-year-old two-way superstar will be ready to DH in Friday’s highly-anticipated series opener against the Padres. Mookie Betts has been moved up to the leadoff spot and Will Smith is at DH on Thursday afternoon in his absence.
Brandon Nimmo

NYM Left Fielder #9

Brandon Nimmo (neck) is absent from the lineup for Thursday’s series finale against the Nationals.

No real surprise here after Nimmo was removed from Wednesday night’s contest with neck stiffness, which has been a recurring issue the past couple years. The 32-year-old corner outfielder is presumably day-to-day heading into Friday’s series opener against Atlanta. It’ll be Tyrone Taylor taking over in left field on Thursday afternoon.
Shea Langeliers

ATH Catcher #23

Shea Langeliers is not in the lineup for Thursday’s series finale against the Twins.

Langeliers gets a well-deserved break after launching his 28th round-tripper of the season during Wednesday’s narrow victory. The 27-year-old is one big fly shy of matching last year’s career-high total. He’s getting his first full day off since July 13. It’ll be rookie Willie MacIver handling the catching duties in this one.
Matt Sauer

LAD Relief Pitcher #64

Dodgers recalled RHP Matt Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Sauer provides Los Angeles with some additional long relief depth heading into Thursday’s series finale against the Rockies at high-octane Coors Field. The 26-year-old righty has registered an underwhelming 6.18 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 22/8 K/BB ratio across 27 2/3 innings (nine appearances, one start) this season at the highest level.
Paul Gervase

LAD Relief Pitcher #65

Dodgers optioned RHP Paul Gervase to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Gervase made his Los Angeles debut on Wednesday night, working a pair of frames in relief of starter Shohei Ohtani at Coors Field. The 25-year-old rookie reliever figures to be back at some point in September once rosters expand.
Jacob Webb

TEX Relief Pitcher #71

Rangers activated RHP Jacob Webb from the 15-day injured list.

Webb returns to bolster Texas’ high-leverage mix following a three-week absence recovering from back spasms. The 32-year-old righty has compiled a strong 3.75 ERA and 39/14 K/BB ratio across 48 innings in 42 appearances.
Caleb Boushley

TEX Relief Pitcher #70

Rangers optioned RHP Caleb Boushley to Triple-A Round Rock.

Boushley has been shipped back to the minors after allowing three runs over three innings on Wednesday in a spot start against the Royals in place of an injured Jacob deGrom (shoulder). The 31-year-old righty holds an inflated 5.22 ERA across a career-high 39 2/3 innings (21 appearances, one start) this season in the majors.
