The Houston Astros try to break a four-game losing streak behind starter Framber Valdez against Rangers ace Jacob deGrom

HOUSTON — For Jacob deGrom, family man, going to the All-Star Game is of utmost importance. For Jacob deGrom, the 37-year-old, the pitching part is better left to the younger, less experienced and less surgically repaired.

Rangers' Bruce Bochy Reacts to Jacob deGrom Decision on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Right-handed starting pitcher Jacob deGrom is in his 12th season and his third as a member of the Texas Rangers.
