DeGrom (elbow) remains limited to playing light catch and there is no timetable for when he will be cleared to throw off a mound, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

"We're going very easy with it and testing it out," Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. While deGrom is eligible to return from the injured list Sunday, it's clear that it's going to take longer than that, perhaps much longer. Understandably, the Rangers want to proceed very cautiously with the prized right-hander as he works his way back from right elbow inflammation. Dane Dunning got the first start in deGrom's place and could be set for multiple turns through the rotation.

DeGrom (elbow) is slated to begin playing catch during the Rangers' May 5-14 road trip, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

When exactly he'll play catch during the road trip isn't clear, but it's good news that it's coming soon. DeGrom landed on the injured list last weekend with right elbow inflammation and is eligible for activation in mid-May. Whether he'll be ready to go at that time remains to be seen.

Texas placed deGrom on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers are recalling Yerry Rodriguez from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding transaction. This comes after deGrom left Friday's start against the Yankees after dealing with tightness in his right forearm, and unsurprisingly the result is another stint on the injured list for the right-hander. The good news is there doesn't appear to be structural damage for deGrom, so he could be back in the rotation in the middle of May if everything goes well.

The Rangers announced that deGrom left Friday's start against the Rangers with forearm tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. He allowed no runs over 3.2 innings with one walk and two strikeouts before leaving.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom has now left two of his last three starts with injuries, as he dealt with wrist soreness earlier in the campaign. The right-hander assuredly will undergo imaging to check for structural damage, and while he should be considered day-to-day for now, a trip to the injured list cannot be ruled out at this point.

DeGrom (2-0) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and zero walks over six innings against the Athletics. He struck out 11.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom dispelled any worries fantasy managers had about the wrist injury that forced him out of his last start after four innings, striking out 11 batters while giving up just one run over six innings Sunday. After sporting a 4.32 ERA in his first three starts, DeGrom has recovered nicely with just one earned run combined in his last two appearances. He has recorded a 14.5 K/9 on the season.

DeGrom (wrist) will start Sunday for the Rangers after reporting no issues during his side session Friday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom was able to throw without issues Friday and will end up not missing a single start after leaving Monday's start against the Royals on Monday with wrist soreness. The right-hander may be on a close watch, but everything suggests the 34-year-old will be ready to roll against one of the worst lineups in baseball in the Athletics.

DeGrom (wrist) threw a bullpen session Friday, but the Rangers have yet to confirm that he'll be able to start Sunday versus the Athletics, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Friday that he'll have a better idea about deGrom's availability Saturday. DeGrom was removed from a start earlier this week with right wrist soreness after tossing four no-hit innings.

DeGrom (wrist) is throwing a bullpen Friday with the intent to pitch against the Athletics on Sunday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

As Grant points out there's been nothing finalized, but it appears that deGrom will make his scheduled start against Oakland as long as everything goes well in the bullpen session. The right-hander was dominant over four innings against the Royals on Monday before leaving with right wrist soreness. Fantasy players will want to keep a close eye, but it does appear the ace will be on the bump against a very beatable Oakland lineup over the weekend.

DeGrom (wrist) told reporters before Tuesday's game against the Royals that he fully expects to make his next scheduled start against the Athletics after being reevaluated, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom said that he feels better than he did Monday, and he was "encouraged" by the results. The right-hander fired four no-hit innings while throwing 39 of 58 pitches for strikes before leaving with soreness in his right wrist. The Rangers will certainly take precautions if there are any hiccups between now and the weekend, but for now it seems likely deGrom will be back on the bump against the Athletics on Saturday.

DeGrom (wrist) will be re-evaluated Tuesday and hopes to make his next start this weekend against the Athletics, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

He said the wrist soreness popped up early in his start Monday against the Royals and it got a bit worse as the outing wore on and he didn't want to change his mechanics and create a bigger issue for himself. DeGrom told reporters after the game that he could have kept pitching and hopes to make his next start, but we should learn more after he is re-evaluated.
