Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom is on schedule to return from Tommy John surgery after completing a bullpen session in which he threw 45 pitches. This session replicates three innings, and deGrom is excited to face batters shortly. Manager Bruce Bochy recognised deGrom’s growth and the bullpen’s strong performance as the team neared game preparedness. DeGrom expects to help the Rangers’ postseason chances after being sidelined earlier this season.
