Manager Buck Showalter said deGrom's next start will come Friday in the series opener against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom was originally projected to start Saturday, but he will be moved up a day and go toe-to-toe with Atlanta's ace, Max Fried. DeGrom has faced Atlanta twice this season, allowing a combined five earned runs with 21 strikeouts over 12.1 innings.

DeGrom (5-3) gave up five earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five over four innings to take the loss in a 10-4 defeat against the Athletics on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom had his worst start of the season in what appeared on paper like a very favorable matchup against one of the weaker lineups in baseball. He opened the game in an uncharacteristic fashion by loading the bases on a single and back-to-back walks. It was the first time that he allowed two or more walks over his past 13 starts. Dermis Garcia then hit a catchable line drive to left field that was played terribly by Jeff McNeil, who tripped and fell on the play, allowing two runs to score. DeGrom still boasts a 2.93 ERA and will look to bounce back into his usual form in his next expected start at Atlanta.

DeGrom allowed three runs on four hits while striking out 13 in five innings in a 7-3 win Sunday against Pittsburgh. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom was nearly unhittable through the first five innings, allowing a double to Oneil Cruz to begin the game before striking out 13 of the next 15 batters he faced. The Pirates got to him in the sixth, though, as the first two batters recorded singles and Cruz deposited a pitch into the seats for a three-run homer. DeGrom has allowed homers in four of his last five appearances and has allowed three runs in each of his last two starts. With Sunday's 13 punch outs, he's struck out 44.1 percent of batters faced this year. His next start will likely be next weekend in Oakland.

DeGrom (5-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits over six innings against the Cubs. He struck out 10.

EDGE Analysis

A solo home run in the top of the second and a couple of timely hits and sacrifices in the fourth led to deGrom taking his second loss, despite another quality start. With 10 strikeouts and no walks Tuesday, he recorded double-digit strikeouts for the third time in eight starts and owns a marvelous 73:4 K:BB. He will take a 2.01 ERA into his next start.

DeGrom (5-1) picked up the win in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates, allowing three hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Chris Bassitt fanned 10 batters while giving up just one run in the matinee as the Mets swept the twin bill, and deGrom answered with a dominant start of his own in the nightcap. The two-time Cy Young Award winner fired 59 of 91 pitches for strikes and let only one Pittsburgh baserunner get into scoring position en route to his fifth straight quality start. Since making his season debut at the beginning of August, deGrom boasts a 1.66 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 63:4 K:BB through 43.1 innings.

DeGrom (4-1) earned the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday, pitching seven innings and allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out nine batters.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom faced a challenge against MLB's highest-scoring team, but he came out on top while completing seven frames for the first time this season. The right-hander didn't give up his first hit until the fifth inning, and the only run against him came on a Mookie Betts homer in the sixth. DeGrom struck out exactly nine batters for the third straight game while racking up a whopping 25 swinging strikes -- the second time in only six starts that he has reached that mark this season. Despite missing most of the season with a shoulder injury, deGrom remains among the league's elite pitchers, and he's posted dominant numbers with a 1.98 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 55:3 K:BB through 36.1 innings thus far.

DeGrom (3-1) earned the win over Colorado on Thursday, pitching six innings and allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out nine batters.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom served up a sixth-inning solo home run to Ryan McMahon, but that was the extent of the damage against him. The right-hander racked up 17 swinging strikes and nine punchouts while notching his third straight quality start. DeGrom has yet to reach 100 pitches in a game this season -- he threw 87 on Thursday -- but that hasn't held him back from recording plenty of strikeouts or from entering the win column. Through five starts, he has three wins while posting a 2.15 ERA and minuscule 0.55 WHIP along with a jaw-dropping 46:2 K:BB over 29.1 innings.

DeGrom will start Thursday against the Rockies, Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was originally going to pitch Tuesday against the Yankees, but the Mets pushed him back. It's good to know it was not due to anything physically serious for him miss a start this week. This allows deGrom to line up to face the Dodgers next week.

DeGrom (2-1) took the loss against Atlanta on Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks while striking out nine batters over 6.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

In many ways, deGrom was his usual dominant self in the outing -- he racked up 20 swinging strikes and fanned nine batters while giving up just five hits. However, the right-hander surrendered a pair of runs in the third inning, and an infield single by the final batter he faced in the contest (Vaughn Grissom) came back to bite him when Michael Harris II followed with a run-scoring double off reliever Seth Lugo. DeGrom ended up being charged with a season-high three runs, but the loss does nothing to lessen his status as one of fantasy's premier matchup-proof starters.

DeGrom (2-0) gave up two hits and no walks while striking out 10 over six shutout innings to earn the win in a 1-0 victory over the Phillies on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom was his usual dominant self in Saturday night's pitching duel against Aaron Nola. He racked up the 10 strikeouts on 19 swinging strikes by peppering the zone with his hard fastball and mixing in a heavy dose of his nasty slider. The scoreless appearance drops his ERA to 1.62 over three starts during this injury-shortened season. The 34-year-old right-hander now has 28 strikeouts in 16.2 innings pitched and has walked only one batter. It is worth seeing if he can continue to increase his workload from the 76 pitches he threw against the Phillies. He is tentatively expected to make his next start at Atlanta.
