And then…
Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom was removed from tonight’s start in Kansas City as a precaution with right wrist soreness. He will continue to be evaluated.

DeGrom will be re-evaluated tomorrow. He said the wrist soreness popped early and wasn’t much, but got a bit more sore as outing wore on and he didn’t want to change mechanics and create a bigger issue for himself. As always will update with more. Column should be online soon

DeGrom said he felt something minor on the side of his wrist as he warmed up but figured it would subside as he got loose…..
As the game progressed, though, he said he felt a slight increase in soreness and grew more concerned about the possibility of adjusting his mechanics to account for the soreness. …..
….As he walked off the mound (after the 4th), he told catcher Jonah Heim he might not go back out for the fifth, then discussed the issue with Mike Maddux between innings.
“I’m honestly not too concerned,” deGrom said. “I’d like to think I could make my next start. But we’ll see how it is tomorrow when I come in. That spot doesn’t seem too concerning.
“Could I have kept going? Probably. But it was lingering, and it got a little bit worse as the game was going on. And I was like: ‘Hey, I just want to play this safe’.” (via Dallas News)
