The Texas Rangers will be without their $185 million man for the rest of the season. Jacob deGrom will reportedly undergo Tommy John surgery, a move that will almost certainly cost deGrom the rest of the 2023 MLB season, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News.

The news comes months after deGrom signed a five-year, $185 million deal with the Rangers. deGrom, who has battled various arm injuries over the past three seasons, made six starts with the Rangers before going on the Injured List with elbow inflammation. He posted a 2.67 ERA, with 45 strikeouts over 30 1/3 innings in those starts.
