DeGrom was scratched from Friday's start against the Phillies with neck tightness, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old apparently experienced the tightness following Sunday's start versus the Marlins, and the issue lingered throughout the week. DeGrom plans to throw a bullpen session Sunday or Monday since there's no structural issues, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, leaving his status for his next couple turns through the rotation up in the air. Walker Lockett will take the mound Friday in his absence.
