deGrom (personal) is expected to make his season debut Friday against the Phillies, ESPN New York's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

deGrom is in a bit of a holding pattern at the moment as he and his wife await the birth of their child. The expectation is that he'll be able to make his season debut for the Mets' home opener against the Phillies. According to Rubin, if deGrom is not available Friday, Steven Matz or Bartolo Colon would likely fill in as a spot starter.
