DeGrom was removed from Sunday's start against Arizona as a precaution due to right side tightness, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the same injury that scratched the right-hander from his start last Tuesday, though that was eventually diagnosed as right lat inflammation. The Mets labeling the removal as a precaution should be a good sign, but it doesn't provide much relief with deGrom just missing a start with the same injury. Before departing with the injury while the Mets held a 2-1 lead, deGrom gave up an earned run on one hit and three walks while striking out six over five innings.
