He had surgery in September on the ulnar nerve in his elbow, and his recovery has gone as well as the Mets could have hoped. "Since I've had the nerve moved, I haven't had any of the pain that was there, so I would call it a success so far,'' deGrom said. "It started with some tingling in my fingers. Then it turned into a sharp pain. I don't know if it's because it was getting aggravated more, but that's what was happening." The 28-year-old has yet to throw 200 innings in a big league season, but assuming his arm holds up, a Cy Young-worthy campaign is entirely possible in 2017.
