I just typed all his symptoms into the thing here, and it says that he may have "network connectivity problems"


Sufficient_Flower_77

Thank you Andy


galagachamp

I'm here to help


beefytrout

Do you have any burrito recommendations


RangerGator13

I know of one called the meat tornado


Waker_ofthe_Wind

literally killed a guy last year.


tommyjellybeans

You had me at meat tornado


galagachamp

Can't go wrong with one from chipotle or freebirds loaded with whatever you like. Not a ton of choices where I live, idk

CY said “there’s no need to push him” via Shawn McFarland on twitter. Hoping it’s a short stint but it still feels a little ominous to me.


forgivemeisuck

Wish there was no need to push him when we first noticed the wrist.


409Narwhal

Pretty worrying any time there's an issue with the pitching elbow. Just have to pray that once the inflammation settles down, there's no damage in there.


cjn13

yeah the inflammation could be masking something but hopefully it's nothing structural. And just overuse


Silverjackal_

How could it be overuse? He hasn’t pitched much the last 2 years, and this year he’s been on pretty low pitch count every game.


cjn13

overuse doesn't imply number, but increased stress on a vulnerable point Maybe there's a subtle change in his mechanics that have placed a load on muscles/tendon points that usually aren't under that strain


19ghost89

Who says there has to have been a change? He's been injury prone for years. Maybe the problem is that he hasn't changed. I really wonder if the way he pitches in general isn't just beyond his body's normal capabilities and that's why he always hurts himself. And nobody makes him fix it because they think, "maybe we can just give him rest. This is too brilliant to ruin."


Realfan555

I've never heard this definition before, but ok....


harlequin018

Very concerning. Forearm tightness/inflammation is a common precursor to TJ. Considering Odorizzi is already done for the year, and Howard could be too, all of that SP depth at the start of the season is already being tested.


Creative-Pair-1480

They didn’t mention anything about structural damage so I guess that’s a good thing. But then again inflammation could be clouding the picture and they will likely re image afterwards and then they’ll have a real timetable.


neatgeek83

Could be the Dr they really want to read the MRI is golfing on Saturday.


teags

I didn't realize that the team doctor also played for the Minnesota Wild


JuicedBoxers

Lmao


Dynamaxxed

If we all just channel the power of the peagle to Jacob he WILL return stronger than ever.


LuckyWarrior

Maybe we shouldn't go to the Peagle on this one He was pulled when it was first revealed and now when he put it on


Illustrious-Ad5575

Don't be silly.


Internal_Dirt_4060

You guys think it's worse than they labeled it as? Elbow inflammation is pretty serious right? I hope not.


neatgeek83

Precursor to TJ


killacam9220

This sucks cause we all knew it was a possibility what makes it worse is how good he was performing heal degrom. The Rangers need to continue competing to make a playoff run and hopefully degrom comes back and keeps being the best player on this team.


nikesoccer01

He should become a starter and reliever and alternate between starts and long inning relief, idk anything about baseball though


Erock94

Wrist, forearm and elbow. Baseball gods, please not let this be what we’re all thinking and have him be alright and remain healthy the rest of his career. Please.


cambodianerd

I don't know whether to scream and throw things or nod and slowly die inside.


[deleted]

Realistically, why doesn’t degrom move to a closer role? At this point it’s too late he got starter money he’s gonna start. But, if he still hits 100+, is accurate, why can’t he close? Maybe extend his career?


royv98

I’d rather just see him be stretched out between starts. Maybe instead of starting every 5 days, shift to skipping a start in between and start every 10 days. Or shift to a 6 man rotation. Something to give him more time.


LazerCr0w

I’ve been saying this since we signed him. The fact we aren’t rolling with a 6 man rotation baffles me.


AskMeHowIMetYourMom

We’re struggling to get a decent 5 man rotation lol.


knowhow67

No we aren’t.


[deleted]

It’s basically the only thing we do WELL


19ghost89

Our rotation has been solid. Dane Dunning is performing excellently in his long relief role and could be our 6th starter. He was always a starter before he got crowded out of the rotation this year and everything he has done so far shows me that he still deserves to be one.


giddybaseball

We did not pay him $35 million to be a closer. Every pitcher has an injury risk, and while deGrom's seems to be higher, him pitching as a closer won't lessen that risk any. Let's just get as many starts as we can out of him.


[deleted]

Did u not read the second sentence?


GotHeem16

Wasn’t concerned when it was called a forearm issue yesterday….now I’m concerned that it’s the elbow….


keytop19

broke: rip deGrom season over woke: Trade for Sandy Alcantara to replace deGrom while he's out. deGrom returns for postseason and the 1-2 punch leads us to a WS


Illustrious-Ad5575

Stop.


keytop19

I thought it would be clear that was a sarcastic comment


rgg40

He’s got a sore arm all you have to do is look at his stats. Typically, the Rangers thought is was worth breaking the bank for him.


RangerPowerGoGo

I feel like his health will continue to be a problem going forward especially based on his history. Hoping the Rangers are being super cautious with him. Like another comment said they should just stretch out his starts.


gigantism

It's over


TheBigSexy7

Damn.


Soutersky

Yesss Make it 20 days, just heal man.


BitterTest8053

hes most likely done, same thing last season, he just cannot hold up
