Fans seven in season debut
DeGrom allowed three earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out seven batters across 4.2 innings during Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Orioles. He did not factor into the decision.
Analyse
DeGrom allowed just three batters to reach base through the first four innings, though one of them was Pete Alonso, who put the O's on the scoreboard with a leadoff homer in the fourth. A defensive miscue from Wyatt Langford in the fifth allowed Baltimore to tally two more runs against deGrom, causing the veteran righty to leave Tuesday's contest after 79 pitches with the score knotted at three apiece. He's lined up to make his next start at home against the Mariners and may be allowed to pitch a bit deeper into that contest, at which point he'll be further removed from the neck issues that delayed his debut.

Cleared to start Tuesday
DeGrom (neck) has been cleared to start Tuesday's game in Baltimore.
Analyse
DeGrom had to be scratched from his first scheduled start of the season Saturday in Philadelphia due to neck stiffness, but he's improved enough in the days since then to take the ball Tuesday. With deGrom ready to go, Jacob Latz -- who tossed four scoreless frames in a spot start in deGrom's stead versus the Phillies -- will head back to the bullpen.

Improving but iffy for next start
DeGrom said Sunday that his stiff neck is feeling "much better" and he remains optimistic he'll be able to make his first start of the season Tuesday or Wednesday in Baltimore, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
The veteran righty had been scheduled to start Saturday's game in Philadelphia, but he ended up being scratched just hours before the contest after his neck acted up. DeGrom seems to have responded well to the extra rest and he was able to play catch out to 120 feet Sunday. The Rangers may want to see deGrom complete a bullpen session Monday before clearing him to make his 2026 debut.

Scratched from Saturday's start
DeGrom has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Phillies on Saturday due to neck stiffness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analyse
DeGrom was slowly brought on during spring training and was cleared to make his 2026 debut Saturday, but the veteran right-hander has suffered a setback, which will result in Jacob Latz taking the mound for the Rangers instead. Per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, the Rangers believe that deGrom's neck issue is not a serious one and that he could start later on in the road trip. Per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, deGrom is tentatively slated to start Tuesday against Baltimore.
