deGrom, who last pitched on April 28th of last season, made six starts for the Rangers in 2023. The righty underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery last spring after posting a 2-0 record and a 2.67 ERA over the first two months of the season.

The four-time All-Star has posted a 44.8 career WAR as a result of a 2.53 career ERA. He enjoyed his best season with the New York Mets in 2018, leading the league with a 1.70 ERA on his way to his first Cy Young Award. He won the award again in 2019, becoming just the 11th player in MLB history to earn the honor in back-to-back seasons.

deGrom made his big league debut in 2014 with the Mets, earning his first All-Star selection the following year. He also made his first postseason start in 2015, helping the Mets to a National League pennant.

The former ninth round pick by the Mets in 2010 is set to make his first rehab start with the Rangers organization on Thursday. He has a career record of 21-12 with a 3.56 ERA across 63 starts in the minors.

Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young winner and two-time World Series champion, is slated to rehab in Frisco on Friday at 7:05 p.m. against the Missions. The 40-year-old righty sits in 10th place on MLB’s all-time strikeout list.

A former number 11 overall selection in 2006, Scherzer made his debut with the Diamondbacks in 2008. He has accumulated 216 career wins and with 12 more wins in the American League, would become the 11th player in baseball history to reach 100 wins in both leagues.

The right-handed starter has made three rehab appearances for Triple-A Round Rock, spinning 11.0 innings while allowing 6 earned runs. He boasts a career record of 9-6 in 39 appearances (36 starts) in the minors to go along with an even 3.00 ERA.
