德州游骑兵队投手雅各布·德格罗姆在周四对阵洛杉矶天使队的比赛中因右肱三头肌疲劳在第二局后退出先发投球[1]。这位两次赛扬奖得主仅投2局就被替换[1]，游骑兵队最终以0:7负于对手[1]。德格罗姆本人表示，"我不太担心。希望我能进行下一场先发"[1]。
游骑兵队经理Skip Schumaker解释了提前撤换投手的决定，称"一听说是肱三头肌的问题，我就不想冒险了"[1]。德格罗姆将于周五接受核磁共振检查[1]。
值得注意的是，这是德格罗姆自2017年9月5日以来首次在一局内允许5次安打[1]。此外，德格罗姆仅需2次三振就能成为大联盟历史上第94位达到2000个三振的投手[1]。游骑兵队的伤病问题进一步加重，投手Nathan Eovaldi已于周一因肘部炎症被放入15天伤病名单[1]。目前游骑兵队战绩为60-62，在美联西区落后第一名休斯敦2场胜差[1]。
Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom left his start against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday after two innings due to right triceps fatigue [1]. The two-time Cy Young Award winner will undergo an MRI examination on Friday [1].
Manager Skip Schumaker decided to remove deGrom from the game upon learning about the triceps issue, stating "I wasn't going to risk it once I heard (it was) the triceps" [1]. DeGrom expressed limited concern about the injury, saying "I'm not too concerned. I mean, hopefully I'll make my next (start)" [1]. The early exit marked the first time since September 5, 2017, that deGrom has allowed five hits in a single inning [1].
The Rangers lost to the Angels 0-7 [1]. The team's injury situation has grown more complicated, as pitcher Nathan Eovaldi was placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday due to elbow inflammation [1]. With a record of 60-62, the Rangers currently trail the division-leading Houston Astros by two games in the American League West [1]. DeGrom needs two more strikeouts to become the 94th Major League pitcher to reach 2,000 career strikeouts [1].
