Texas Rangers ยท Pitcher
At 38 years old, deGrom enters 2026 as a veteran anchor for Texas Rangers' rotation despite showing some regression from his stellar 2025 campaign. His two-time Cy Young credentials and recent All-MLB selections establish him as a proven strikeout source, though his 2026 numbers reveal notable decline with a 3.55 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across reduced innings, suggesting age-related durability concerns are materializing. Fantasy managers should approach him cautiously as a back-end starter or streamer option, as the combination of fewer innings pitched and elevated ERA represents a sharp step backward from his 2025 form. His ability to still generate over 100 strikeouts demonstrates residual elite stuff, but relying on consistent wins, low ERA, and WHIP production carries significant risk at this stage of his career.
deGrom delivers dominant bounce-back performance
Jacob deGrom bounced back in impressive fashion for the Rangers, allowing just one hit over seven innings in a strong outing against Arlington. The right-hander was frustrated with his recent performance but responded with this dominant gem. DeGrom's return to form is critical for Texas' playoff hopes.
