Jacob deGrom, who left Friday’s game with flexor tendinitis, is not expected to miss a start for the Mets. His 0.56 ERA is the lowest ever by a pitcher through 10 starts.
NEW YORK — Two-time National League Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom is expected to make his next scheduled start for the New York Mets despite having to leave Friday’s game after six innings with flexor tendinitis. DeGrom played catch and threw a bullpen session Saturday afternoon. Manager Luis Rojas said his ace should be ready to face the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. A precautionary MRI showed no problem, Rojas said. “It’s something that we want to take day by day, so today it’s just play catch,” Rojas said. “He said he felt fine, so we’ll see the progression in between starts and see that he can do everything, throw his side and make his next start.
