Two-time Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom returned to the Texas Rangers rotation for the first time since April 28, 2023, after having Tommy John surgery in June 2023.

Two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom struck out five over three innings in his first home start for the Texas Rangers in nearly 17 months after his recovery from elbow surgery.

It was the first start at home for deGrom since he left in the middle of the fourth inning against the New York Yankees on April 28, 2023. That was the sixth and last start in the first season of his $185 million, five-year contract.
