Jacob deGrom Exits Start Early Due to Right Triceps Fatigue

Fort Myers Naples, FL, August 14, 2026 —

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom was removed from his recent start against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, California, after only two innings of work. The team cited right triceps fatigue as the reason for his early exit.

The exact circumstances leading to the fatigue were not detailed beyond the stated reason. DeGrom had begun the game as scheduled, facing the Angels’ lineup. However, after completing the second inning, the decision was made to pull him from the game.

Further information regarding the extent of the fatigue, deGrom’s current condition, or any potential treatment or diagnostic steps was not immediately available. The duration of his absence from the mound, if any, remains to be determined.

This development marks a setback for the Rangers, who acquired deGrom in the offseason. The team has not provided details on when deGrom might pitch again.
