DeGrom is experiencing shoulder tightness and will be evaluated Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arm issues are always a major concern for a pitcher, and that will only be heightened for deGrom given he battled elbow issues to end the 2021 season. He appeared to be fully healthy for the upcoming campaign after throwing two scoreless innings in his Grapefruit League debut on March 24. DeGrom was scheduled to pitch Friday, though that now seems unlikely, and his status for Opening Day should be closely monitored.
