Jacob deGrom didn’t even make it from the spring training physical to the first workout of camp before his injury history became an issue for the Rangers to contend with.
With deGrom feeling some “tightness” in his left side following his most recent bullpen, combined with cold temperatures and some wet conditions, the Rangers decided to hold him out of their first workout, Texas general manager Chris Young said.
Young said deGrom wanted to participate in the workout, but the Rangers opted for caution.
