Jacob deGrom to Get Some Extra Rest to Open Second Half
Patrick Corbin on the mound, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. Corbin will be followed by rookie right-hander Kumar Rocker on Saturday and righty Nathan Eovaldi for the series finale on Sunday. Right-hander Jacob deGrom will get a bit of extra rest coming out of the All-Star break. It won't be easy sledding for any of Corbin, Rocker or Eovaldi against the first-place Tigers, a team that ranks sixth in baseball with an OPS of .749 heading into the second half. deGrom, 37, has a pretty lengthy injury history, and the Rangers want to keep him healthy the rest of the way. He finished the first half by picking up quality starts in seven of his last eight starts while going 5-0 in a span of 49 innings. deGrom should face the A's early next week in a plus matchup.
