While Rangers star pitcher Jacob deGrom won't pitch at the All-Star game, there is a catch with his situation.

Entering the All-Star break, the right-hander has a 2.32 ERA across 19 starts, holding opposing hitters to a .194 batting average while also limiting the total number of base runners with a 0.91 WHIP.

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.
