EDGE Analysis
DeGrom will pitch in a game for the first time since he underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2023. The 35-year-old is expected to require several rehab starts, but he appears to be on track to return in September. The Rangers are unlikely to make the playoffs this year, but they would like to determine how good deGrom can be and how much of a workload he can handle in 2025, per Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com. DeGrom also stated that it's important for him to return this season and that he looks forward to having a normal offseason.
