DeGrom and Others Near Return in MLB Rehab

Several MLB players are progressing in their rehab assignments and nearing returns to their respective teams. Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom, who underwent Tommy John surgery last June, will begin his rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco, aiming for a mid-September return to the majors. Despite the Rangers' slim playoff chances, deGrom's return is viewed as essential for evaluating his readiness for the 2025 season. Ryan Feltner of the Rockies allowed five runs in his first rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque after missing most of August due to a right shoulder strain. Yankees utility player Jon Berti, recovering from a right calf strain, is set to begin his rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset and could return by the end of August.
