SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Jacob deGrom has thrown his first bullpen session at spring training for the Texas Rangers. The two-time National League Cy Young winner threw 22 pitches off the mound on Thursday. That came eight days after the team’s first official workout, when the newly acquired right-hander was held out because of tightness in his left side. DeGrom had thrown off flat ground since then. He had also thrown about six bullpen sessions before even getting to Arizona. Texas signed deGrom to a $185 million, five-year contract during the offseason. The Rangers open the regular season in five weeks, at home March 30 against NL champ Philadelphia.
