DeGrom (elbow) threw a 45-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom threw three sets of 15 pitches and came away from the session feeling good. The right-hander reiterated once again the goal is to pitch this year and hopefully get the Rangers into the postseason. Texas general manager Chris Young admitted that return timelines are fluid, but the organization's goal is to have deGrom pitching for the Rangers at some point in August.

DeGrom (elbow) will throw a 45-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom is expected to throw two total bullpen sessions on this road trip before facing hitters. He threw between 40 and 45 pitches in a bullpen session a week ago, so deGrom's workload hasn't been increasing, although his intensity in each session could be progressing. Once he throws his final bullpen session this week, we could get an update on when and where he will face hitters.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that deGrom (elbow) will travel with the Rangers to St. Louis and throw two bullpen sessions before facing hitters, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom continues to work his way through his rehab program from Tommy John surgery in June of 2023. He has steadily increased his pitch count and velocity with each bullpen session, and he appears to be closer to going out on a rehab assignment.

DeGrom (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is expected to throw another Friday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom is estimated to have thrown between 40 and 45 pitches with three up-and-downs Tuesday, with manager Bruce Bochy noting that the right-hander's fastball checked in at around 94 or 95 miles per hour. Following Friday's session, deGrom will throw a few live batting practice sessions before likely going out on a rehab assignment.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Monday that deGrom (elbow) is "getting close" to facing hitters, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom will throw around 40 pitches in a bullpen session Tuesday and is slated for another bullpen session Friday. It sounds as if he should be cleared to face hitters after that, and Bochy added Monday that he anticipates deGrom needing three live batting practice sessions before being cleared for a rehab assignment. Given that timetable, it would seem as though deGrom won't be ready to return until late August, at the earliest.

DeGrom (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday and mixed in some sliders, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Friday marked deGrom's third bullpen session, but previously he had been limited to fastballs and changeups. It's unclear when the 35-year-old will come off the IL, but considering he'll likely need multiple rehab appearances, deGrom shouldn't be expected to make his season debut until some time in August.

DeGrom (elbow) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom mixed in a few changeups Tuesday in addition to the fastballs he had been throwing in previous sessions. He hasn't experienced any setbacks since beginning his throwing program in February, though manager Bruce Bochy noted that the 36-year-old is still "a ways away" from returning from the 60-day injured list. Once deGrom is cleared to face live hitters or begin a minor-league rehab assignment, a clearer return timeline may emerge.

DeGrom (elbow) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The session contained only fastballs and marked the first time deGrom has thrown off a mound since he underwent Tommy John surgery last June. Everything went according to plan, and deGrom will continue to the ramp-up process as he eyes a return from the 60-day injured list sometime in the second half of the season.

DeGrom (elbow) is slated to throw his first bullpen session since last June's Tommy John surgery during the Rangers' June 17-23 homestand, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom resumed flat-ground throwing Wednesday following a scheduled de-loading period as he continues his rehab from a second Tommy John operation. The right-hander has hit all the necessary markers in his recovery so far but has many more to go. If everything goes according to plan, deGrom looks to be tracking toward a season debut sometime in August, although that's very tentative at this point.

DeGrom (elbow) has extended his flat-ground throwing to 90 feet, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the next step in deGrom's throwing progression as he continues his rehab from Tommy John surgery. Everything seems to have gone as expected to this point with deGrom, who hopes to rejoin the Rangers' rotation at some point late in the season.
