DeGrom (shoulder) will progress to an "up-and-down" bullpen session Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following Tuesday's 30-pitch bullpen session, deGrom said "everything feels good" and that "hopefully" it won't be too much longer before he is able to return to game action. This was his fourth bullpen session since beginning mound work and the up-and-down session will be a little closer to recreating a game environment.

DeGrom (shoulder) will throw a third bullpen session Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom has thrown two bullpens over the last week, and he'll pitch off a mound once again Saturday. The right-hander still has to build up his pitch count, so it's not yet clear when he'll be able to face live hitters. However, it's encouraging that he's been able to throw regular bullpens sessions recently.

DeGrom (shoulder) threw a 19-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom's bullpen session Saturday was the first time he threw off a mound since spring training, and he threw 19 fastballs at moderate intensity. The right-hander was throwing off flat ground for several weeks, and he'll now shift his focus to ramping up his intensity. While Saturday's bullpen session was a significant step in the right direction for deGrom, he still has several hurdles to clear before he's in the mix to rejoin the Mets' rotation.

DeGrom (shoulder) remained behind in New York for the Mets' current road trip, but he could begin throwing off a mound before the team returns home June 14, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander is currently still throwing off flat ground as the Mets proceed very cautiously with his recovery from a stress reaction in his right scapula. There had originally been plans for deGrom to accompany the team on its 11-day west coast swing, but pitching coach Jeremy Hefner determined he wouldn't be able to give the 33-year-old's rehab the attention it deserved during the trip. "The right decision is, it's better for [deGrom] to get his work done there," manager Buck Showalter said Thursday. "Just a lot better equipped and manpower and the things that are going on that he needs to get done." Showalter indicated Thursday that deGrom could be ready to do mound work before the Mets got back to Queens, but his eventual return to the big-league rotation remains far off.

DeGrom (shoulder) extended his throwing distance to 135 feet this week and said he feels "completely normal," Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom continues to make gradual progress as he works his way back from the stress reaction on his scapula which has so far prevented him from making his season debut. He still has several more steps to go, and his recent health history hardly inspires confidence, but it's undoubtedly a good sign to see that he's progressing and feels healthy.

DeGrom (shoulder) is playing catch from about 100 feet Tuesday and could begin throwing bullpen sessions as early as this weekend, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old continue to expand his throwing distance and is now closing in on his return to mound work. The right-hander underwent an MRI last week which showed "continued healing in the scapula," and he's been ramping up the intensity of his throwing program as a result. There's no clear timeline for deGrom's return to game action, but it's clear he's progressing in his rehab work, and it's possible he could be back before the All-Star break.

The MRI deGrom (shoulder) underwent Monday revealed "continued healing in the scapula." He's scheduled to continue building distance and velocity during his throwing program, but he remains without a definitive timetable for making his 2022 debut.

EDGE Analysis

The news is definitely what the Mets wanted to hear, but that doesn't mean deGrom's return is anything close to imminent. He still has to go through a full spring training buildup process, though he's at least been throwing in a limited capacity recently.

DeGrom (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, his third since the beginning of April, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old resumed playing catch just over a week ago and will now receive another MRI three weeks after his most recent round of imaging. DeGrom is still working his way back from a stress reaction on his scapula which has sidelined him the entire season to this point, but Monday's MRI will provide a useful update on where he's at in his recovery. The right-hander is currently expected to return around mid-to-late July, though the results from the imaging will bring more clarity to his timetable.

DeGrom (shoulder) recently began a throwing program and is playing catch from 60 feet, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday is expected to be sidelined through the All-Star break, but it's still good news he's begun a throwing program after being shut down for over a month. There could be another update on deGrom's status next week since he's scheduled to undergo another MRI.

The Mets transferred deGrom (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday. The two-time Cy Young Award winner is expected to remain out through the All-Star break, according to Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News.

EDGE Analysis

New York has been deliberately evasive about offering up a timeline for deGrom's return since he was diagnosed April 1 with a stress reaction of his right scapula. At the time, deGrom was scheduled to be shut down from throwing for four weeks, but more than five weeks later, he has yet to resume an on-field baseball activities. The Mets haven't suggested that deGrom has hit a snag in his recovery, as he's simply not far along in the rehab process at this stage for the club to have any confidence that he would miss fewer than 60 days. He'll technically be eligible to come off the IL in early June, but Thosar suggests deGrom's return date will likely trend closer to mid-to-late July. A more definitive target for deGrom's return should come into focus as he makes his way through a throwing program, but it's still unclear when he'll even be ready to resume playing catch.
