He has posted a 0.51 ERA, a 0.571 WHIP, and a 48 percent strikeout rate in 35 innings of work. If he can avoid a trip to the injured list, assuming all goes well on Thursday, fantasy managers should be ready to fire...

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom continued his dominance by going six innings, allowing just one earned run and striking out nine in the Mets' 1-0 loss to Boston on Wednesday.

He allowed one run on six hits with three strikeouts and one walk over five innings in a 4-3 loss. Gonzalez did a fine job holding down the Mets offense on Saturday.
