ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rangers ace Jacob deGrom unexpectedly exited his start against the New York Yankees after giving up his first hit with two outs in the fourth inning of Friday night's 5-2 win.
Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said afterward deGrom was experiencing forearm tightness and will be re-evaluated on Saturday.
"It's just a precaution," Bochy said. "A couple starts ago he felt (it) a little bit. So that's what we decided to do, to be a little cautious here."
DeGrom retired his first 10 batters and had a 5-0 lead when he walked Anthony Rizzo.
