New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) threw 10 pitches off of a mound on Tuesday, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. This was of course a light session, but it was also a big step in deGrom's recovery as this was his first bullpen work since he was shutdown in July. Last week, it was revealed that deGrom had a sprain and partial tear of the UCL in his right elbow. However, on the bright side, his ligament injury has reportedly healed. deGrom remains without a timeline for a ...

New York Mets president Sandy Alderson reported on Tuesday that Jacob deGrom (elbow) is dealing with a sprain/partial tear of the UCL in his right elbow. Alderson went on to emphasize that deGrom is fine now and that the ligament injury has "resolved itself." Clearly, Alderson was downplaying the severity of the issue if the ligament is, in fact, partially torn. At this point, it remains unclear whether deGrom will return this season. Alderson's comments on Tuesday only served to create more ...

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) resumed throwing on Wednesday afternoon after a follow-up MRI. While results of his MRI on Wednesday have not yet been disclosed, it is obviously a good sign that deGrom resumed a throwing program. deGrom is currently on the 60-day injured list and not eligible to come off of it until September 13. Notwithstanding the good sign on Wednesday, it remains unlikely the Mets will activate deGrom for the final two weeks of the season and risk ...

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) is scheduled for a follow-up MRI on Wednesday. The right-hander has been basically shutdown since July due to a lingering elbow issue. He would need to build back up through throwing off flat ground, bullpen sessions, and likely rehab outings. It's uncertain if deGrom will pitch again for the Mets this season. Fantasy managers should continue to hold him for the moment, but don't get your hopes up for deGrom pitching for the Mets again in ...

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday, essentially ending his 2021 campaign. deGrom is now eligible to come off the IL on September 13 (at the earliest), but it is unlikely the Mets will activate him for the final two weeks of the season based on earlier reports. This is a sad end to what was a historic start to his 2021 campaign. In all likelihood, deGrom will finish 2021 with a 1.08 ERA, a 0.55 WHIP, a 45.1 K%, a 3.4 BB%, and ...

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated. deGrom has been out since his last start on July 7 after experiencing right forearm tightness. This is a huge blow to fantasy managers, as deGrom was running away with the NL-Cy Young Award. He was having one of the best pitching seasons in MLB history, posting a 1.08 ERA, 45.1 K%, and 3.4 BB% across 15 starts and 92 innings. He should be kept in ...

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) might be shut down for the remainder of the season, according to Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated. Ragnazzo reports that with the Mets' playoff chances starting to fade, the team is leaning towards shutting deGrom down for the remainder of the season while he continues to deal with right elbow inflammation. deGrom has been shut down since the All-Star break, going 7-2 with a 1.08 ERA, 0.554 WHIP and 45.1 percent strikeout rate over 92 innings...

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (forearm) had a check-up on Monday, and the results out of that appointment did not change his current two-week shutdown from throwing, according to Tim Britton of The Athletic. There were reports earlier on Monday that he would be getting examined again, but it appears there were no significant changes to his condition. deGrom has been sidelined since the beginning of July with forearm tightness, and at this point it's looking like we won't see him ...

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (forearm) is scheduled to undergo a check-up on Monday. Manager Luis Rojas mentioned on Friday that deGrom will be shut down an additional two weeks. It's uncertain what kind of news will come from this check-up. Although, it doesn't sound like deGrom is going to take the mound anytime soon. Right now, it seems like a long shot that deGrom is able to give the Mets significant innings in September. Fantasy managers leaning on deGrom need to start ...

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) won't throw for at least two more weeks, according to Justin Toscano of The Record. deGrom has been on the shelf since July 18, but before hitting the injured list, he was having a year to remember. He has a 1.08 ERA, 0.55 WHIP, 146 K and 11 walks across 92 innings this season. Once he returns he should continue being the top pitcher in baseball, assuming there are no lingering effects. However, there is no timetable for his return, so fantasy...
