Nick Pollack’s SP Roundup breaks down Tuesday’s starting-pitcher performances, led by a troubling Jacob deGrom outing that balloons his ERA and fuels health speculation, while other arms like Clay Holmes, Michael King, Paul Skenes, George Kirby, and Aaron Nola deliver quality starts and guide streaming decisions for fantasy managers.
Jacob deGrom became the 95th pitcher to reach 2,000 career strikeouts, doing so in his 272nd game and 1,661st inning and becoming the second-fastest to the milestone by both metrics, as he struck out 10 over six scoreless innings in the Rangers’ 2-0 win over the Nationals in Arlington, Texas. The longtime Met and two-time Cy Young winner has battled injuries, including a second Tommy John surgery, but his 2026 milestone underscores his lasting dominance and his place among baseball’s elite, even as his season this year has been tough.
The Atlanta Braves pursued elite starters Jacob deGrom and Logan Webb at the trade deadline but came up empty, choosing to stay the course with a sustainability-focused roster build even as other teams boosted their rotations; their only notable addition was Tyler Mahle, leaving questions about their postseason rotation and the overall impact of the deadline.
Texas ace Jacob deGrom declined to waive his no-trade clause, effectively keeping him with the Rangers as trade discussions cooled. Texas leaned against selling, though they explored moves involving players like Seager and Eovaldi and even swung a minor trade for Adam Macko. Seager has only partial no-trade protection, while deGrom’s remaining $37M next year on a five-year, $185M deal and his injury history make any deal complex. A rumored Braves interest did not result in a deal.

Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom will not start this weekend after exiting Tuesday’s game with a mild left glute strain and may require an injured-list stint; a final call will come after a few rehab days. If he misses time, Texas could turn to depth options such as Cal Quantrill, Jose Corniell, or Jordan Montgomery to fill the rotation.
Texas Rangers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 to extend their winning streak to four, tying a season high. Jacob deGrom earned his 100th career win with eight strikeouts across five scoreless innings, lowering his ERA to 3.48. The Rangers leaned on a productive middle infield (Duran/Lopez) who combined for five hits, and they stole three bases — the club’s first three-base game of the season. Cardinals relievers allowed the lone run via Masyn Winn’s homer off Peyton Gray, while deGrom’s outing anchored the victory.
Texas Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi will undergo imaging after left‑side tightness forced him from a start, prompting a bullpen-heavy plan with Jakob Junis and Jacob Latz in the closer role. DeGrom remains the rotation centerpiece as the front five hold up, and the bullpen’s MLB-low ERA has buoyed a team whose offense remains below average. Meanwhile, Josh Smith’s glute and wrist injuries sideline him, opening more playing time for Ezequiel Durán at second and Alejandro Osuna in the outfield, with Wyatt Langford also dealing with injury concerns.
Jacob deGrom fired seven scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts to power the Rangers to a 3-0 win over the Cubs, who had only three hits; Chicago threatened briefly, but Evan Carter’s two-run homer in the bottom of the 8th sealed it.

The Red Sox are seeking pitching options, showing interest in Jakob Junis and Codi Heuer, but Junis may be better suited for relief while Heuer is a speculative addition due to injury. The Twins are looking to bolster their starting pitching depth after losing key pitchers in free agency, considering trade and free agent options.
