2023 Fantasy Outlook
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 Read Past Outlooks

Surgery goes as expected
Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that the Tommy John surgery that deGrom (elbow) underwent Monday went well, the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Rangers team physician Dr. Keith Meister performed the reconstructive procedure on deGrom's UCL, marking the second time the soon-to-be 35-year-old has had Tommy John surgery after he first required the elbow operation in October 2010. Though no new ligament damage or inflammation was seemingly detected during Monday's surgery, deGrom will still face the typical 12-to-14-month recovery timeline and could struggle to return to elite form, given his advanced age along with the sketchy track record of pitchers who have had two Tommy John procedures. DeGrom likely won't be cleared to start a throwing program before the end of 2023 and probably shouldn't be expected to be ready to rejoin the Texas rotation until midsummer 2024 in a best-case scenario. He'll be heading into the second season of a five-year, $185 million deal in 2024.

It's a shame we'll never know what would have happened if deGrom didn't deal with multiple injuries. Unfortunately, right lat inflammation, right flexor tendinitis, shoulder soreness and a partial UCL tear had other plans. In his 92 frames, deGrom recorded a 45.1 K% and 3.4 BB%, resulting in a 41.7 K-BB% mark which would have been the best in history for a qualified starting pitcher. Even though his ERA estimators were still well below 2.00, it's hard to imagine deGrom would have finished the year with a 1.08 mark. It is encouraging he could have returned down the stretch if the Mets were in playoff contention, but deGrom still turns 34 years old in June and he's coming off an injury-riddled campaign. The scary part is deGrom needs only 120 innings to be a top-10 starter. This one isn't about next-level analytics; it's a matter of confidence in his health and risk tolerance.
