Rangers Scratch 2-Time Cy Young Award Winner Jacob deGrom From Start Against Phillies with Sore Neck
- On Saturday, the Texas Rangers scratched two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom from his scheduled debut against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park due to neck stiffness.
- Concerns regarding deGrom's availability follow significant injury history; the 37-year-old missed most of the 2023 and 2024 seasons after Tommy John surgery.
- Left-Hander Jacob Latz will replace deGrom in Saturday's start, having posted a 2-0 record with a 2.84 ERA in 33 appearances last season.
- Texas seeks to recover after dropping Thursday's 5-3 season opener to the Phillies, now adjusting its rotation just hours before first pitch on Saturday.
- Reports suggest deGrom may still pitch later during the current road trip, as the Rangers do not currently classify the neck issue as a long-term concern.
