DeGrom will return to the Mets' rotation Friday against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets opted to skip what would have been deGrom's next start Monday in order to allow him to work on some mechanical issues. Rafael Montero will take the mound in his place against the Marlins on Monday night, with deGrom returning to the rotation Friday, as the Mets begin a three-game set against the Nationals in New York. Friday's originally scheduled starter, Noah Syndergaard, will be pushed back to Saturday.
