Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom completed a successful bullpen session without reporting physical setbacks. Team manager Skip Schumaker indicated that the pitcher could return to the mound for Thursday's game against Washington.
The starting pitcher previously left his last outing against the Angels after two innings due to triceps fatigue. Following a week of evaluation and rest, his physical response cleared the way for a potential start.
The coaching staff monitored his throwing performance closely before evaluating his readiness for competition. Returning deGrom to the rotation provides a major boost for the team's pitching group in the series finale.
The medical staff continues to assess his recovery status ahead of the scheduled pitching assignment. A final determination will be made prior to the upcoming game against the Nationals.
