SURPRISE, Ariz. — Jacob deGrom threw his bullpen on schedule Saturday and his arm didn’t fall off, so the Rangers’ ace should make his first start of the spring Monday.
One catch: He might work in a B game or even on a back field instead of on center stage against Arizona.
The Rangers seem less concerned with the venue than the work he gets in. Manager Bruce Bochy said Friday that deGrom should pitch three outings before the season starts.
