2024 Fantasy Outlook
DeGrom's first season with the Rangers after inking a five-year, $185 million contract ended after just six starts when he required Tommy John surgery in mid-June. Unsurprisingly, he was brilliant when on the mound, boasting an absurd 45:4 K:BB over 30.1 innings while averaging 98.7 mph with his fastball. The hope is that the two-time Cy Young winner can rejoin the Rangers' rotation at some point after the All-Star break, but given that it was his second UCL repair and the fact that he has made just 44 starts over the last four seasons, the rehab could take a little longer than your normal Tommy John surgery. He's been indisputably the best pitcher in the game when healthy, but unless you have unlimited IL spots it's difficult to advocate taking deGrom in a redraft in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Kicks off throwing program
DeGrom (elbow) said that he began a throwing program Monday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
ANALYSIS
DeGrom rested Tuesday before he resumed throwing Wednesday, and he may continue to limit himself to a few throwing sessions per week as he begins a slow ramp-up process from last June's Tommy John surgery. The Rangers are hoping for deGrom and co-ace Max Scherzer (back) to make midsummer returns from their respective surgeries, though no firm target date will likely be in place for either pitcher until they advance to the point in their rehab that they're facing hitters. The 35-year-old deGrom hasn't pitched more than 100 innings in any season since 2019 and will fall short of that threshold once again in 2024 while he's likely out for at least the first half of the campaign.

Coming off a season where deGrom made only 15 starts while dealing with elbow issues, it took only one spring start before he experienced shoulder soreness. It was soon diagnosed as a stress reaction in his right scapula, which sidelined him until August 2, though that latest injury didn't stop the Rangers from doling out a $185 million contract. The oft-injured right-hander gathered 64.1 inning over 11 starts in 2022, with typically dominant results. He was able to throw all his pitches, again relying on a 99-mph fastball about half of the time. There isn't a bigger wild card in fantasy drafts than deGrom. The pinnacle is the top pitcher in the game, and if he pitches anywhere close to his usual level, deGrom only needs around 150 frames to achieve No. 1 status. He's going to be drafted as one of the first 10 starters off the board, and if he has good spring, it could be top three. Just keep in mind, he'll be 35 years old and including rehab, deGrom has only thrown 182 innings over the last two seasons
