Once again, New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom pitched an absolute gem. Once again, the bullpen blew his shot at a victory. In the first game of a doubleheader on Monday in Atlanta against the Braves, deGrom allowed one earned run in seven innings pitched; surrendering five hits and three walks while striking out eight. He was in line for the victory before, of course, the lead was blown in the eighth inning for him yet again. deGrom now owns a miniscule 1.52 ERA and 1.01 [...]

The words "no-decision" and "Jacob deGrom" have almost become synonymous in 2018, but alas, the New York Mets' bullpen simply can't get it done for their ace starting pitcher. Against the Miami Marlins on [...]

Going into Friday night's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, fantasy owners did not know what to expect out of New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom. After missing one start with a hyperextended right elbow, deGrom left his last start after only one inning due to weather issues -; though taking the Mets word for it is always dicey. deGrom put any and all concerns to rest on Friday, though. He allowed only one earned run on six hits across seven innings pitched, not walking a batter and[...]

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom has been out since May 2 with a hyperextended right elbow, but on Sunday he'll look to make his triumphant return to the rotation against the Philadelphia Phillies. Originally slated to miss four starts, deGrom only ended up missing one in a short stint on the 10-day disabled list. This is great short-term news, but long-term, we're still weary. Obviously, any elbow injury for a pitcher is serious business. Injury experts are not optimistic on deGrom's[...]

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) is returning to the team's rotation this Sunday to start against the Phillies. deGrom hyperextended his elbow two weeks ago in his start against the Braves and was not expected to miss too much time. The Mets erred on the side of caution to allow deGrom ample time to recover, a great sign that the Mets have learned from their mistakes. In previous years they would have thrown their recently injured ace out there without a second thought, but th[...]

New York Mets starter Jacob deGrom (ebow) was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Sunday, a few days after the club had cleared him to pitch. The fireballer hyperextended his right elbow in his last start. He will likely only miss one start and the team doesn't seem too worried, citing the move as precautionary. No announcement has been made regarding who will replace him in the rotation yet.

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway has confirmed that starting pitcher Jacob deGrom will make his scheduled start on Monday. After reportedly hyperextending his elbow on May 2, deGrom's availability for the near future had come into question. deGrom threw a bullpen session Saturday to test out his throwing elbow and everything seemed to be in order for Callaway to make this call. The Mets have possibly been the worst organization in recent memory in dealing with injury management, but with th[...]

Updating a previous report, some New York Mets sources have been reporting that starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) is set to miss at least four starts after an MRI thankfully did not reveal any ligament damage in his hyperextended right elbow. However, other reports are coming in saying deGrom will play catch on Friday and will try to start on Monday. [...]

Great news for New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom: Thursday's MRI did not reveal any ligament damage. DeGrom is still expected to miss roughly four starts with a hyperextended right elbow, but this is probably the best news anyone could have hoped for given the injury. DeGrom left [...]
