What It Means:

The Rangers' announcement stated that the team removed their ace from the game as a precaution, citing wrist soreness before noting that he will continue to be evaluated. Hopefully the star pitcher is just dealing with something minor, and will be able to make a swift return to the rotation.

deGrom was in the midst of a no-hitter when he was pulled after the fourth inning, hurling 5 strikeouts to just 1 walk despite playing this same Royals team in his most recent start. Dane Dunning was brought in to replace deGrom on the mound.
