Rangers ace Jacob deGrom unexpectedly exited his start against the New York Yankees after giving up his first hit with two outs in the fourth inning of Friday night's 5-2 win.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said afterward deGrom was experiencing forearm tightness and will be re-evaluated on Saturday.

"It's just a precaution," Bochy said. "A couple starts ago he felt [it] a little bit. So that's what we decided to do, to be a little cautious here."
