ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers were awaiting results Tuesday of an MRI on Jacob deGrom’s right knee.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner has said everything checked out OK after his last start. However, he experienced some mild knee discomfort before pitching Monday against Seattle. The Rangers limited him to 78 pitches over five innings. The 37-year-old right-hander allowed one run and one hit while striking out six in his 250th career start.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said before Tuesday night’s game that he expected to have an update on deGrom after the game. DeGrom was moving around in the clubhouse and on the field with no apparent limp.

Cubs pitcher done

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Cade Horton will miss the rest of the 2026 season after an MRI revealed UCL damage in his right elbow.

Manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Horton will have surgery, though the exact procedure won’t be known until doctors go in. Horton, 24, walked off the mound in Cleveland on April 3 after just 17 pitches, his velocity dropping suddenly in the second inning.

It will be his second elbow surgery. He went 11-4 with a 2.67 ERA and finished second in 2025 NL Rookie of the Year voting.

The Cubs are already without ace Justin Steele.
