DeGrom (shoulder) threw 60 pitches across five innings in a simulated game Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom felt good after the session, which alleviates some of the concern that emerged when he experienced shoulder soreness Sunday. It's unclear if deGrom will make one additional rehab start prior to joining the Mets, or if he will be a candidate to start a game during the team's series against the Yankees -- which is in line with his original timeline.

DeGrom (shoulder) had his simulated game pushed back from Tuesday to Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After he experienced mild soreness around his shoulder Sunday, DeGrom was able to play catch Monday and Tuesday and will now pitch his simulated outing Thursday. The push back was reported to be "out of an abundance of caution" by the Mets. DeGrom will still likely make his season debut soon after the All-Star break, but his return could be closer to the end of July or early August at this point.

DeGrom (shoulder) is slated to throw live BP on Tuesday, Deesha Thosar of FoxSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom has made three rehab starts over the last few weeks, and he stretched out to 42 pitches during his most recent outing. His live BP over the All-Star break will serve as his fourth rehab appearance, and he'll be re-evaluated afterward. If he feels good following the throwing session, deGrom should be in the mix to rejoin the Mets' rotation shortly after the All-Star break.

DeGrom (shoulder) threw four innings while allowing an unearned run and striking out four in a rehab appearance at Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom added an extra inning to his workload from his previous rehab outing, and he needed only 42 pitches to complete his four innings. He is expected to throw a simulated game at some point during the All-Star break, and his status will be decided from there. Mike Puma of the New York Post reports that the team has discussed either July 24 or July 26 as potential days for deGrom to make his season debut.

DeGrom (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start at Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom was targeting Wednesday or Thursday for his third rehab start, and the team will ultimately choose the latter option so he has an additional day to rest before pitching for the Triple-A club. He's expected to throw at least 50 pitches during Thursday's outing, and it's not yet clear whether he'll make a fourth rehab start or whether his next appearance after Thursday will be with the major-league club.

DeGrom (shoulder) will make a rehab start either Wednesday or Thursday with Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom managed to throw 36 pitches in the second start of his rehab assignment Friday, and he's expected to clear 50 pitches with Syracuse in his upcoming appearance. It's unclear whether the Mets may elect to activate deGrom and limit his pitch count after that outing, or if he will make a final rehab start before rejoining the big-league club.

DeGrom (shoulder) tossed 36 pitches over three innings in Friday's rehab start with Single-A St. Lucie, striking out six batters, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander topped out at 101 mph with his fastball as he thoroughly overmatched Florida State League batters. "It felt really good, was just happy to get out there and get three complete innings," deGrom said afterward. The upcoming minor-league All-Star breaks complicate the timetable for his return to the Mets' rotation, but deGrom appears to be on track to rejoin the club before July is over.

DeGrom (shoulder) is penciled in to make the second start of his rehab assignment Friday with Single-A St. Lucie, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to DiComo, the Mets intend to keep deGrom on a five-day rest schedule between his outings, at least for the early portion of a rehab assignment that will likely consist of between three and five starts. With that in mind, deGrom doesn't look as though he'll be on pace to return from the 60-day injured list prior to the All-Star break, but he could be an option for the Mets' rotation when the team opens its second-half schedule July 22 with a three-game series with the Padres. DeGrom looked about as good as the Mets could have hoped in his first rehab start with St. Lucie on Sunday, when he struck out five of the six batters he faced while topping 100 miles per hour on seven of his 24 pitches.

DeGrom (shoulder) struck out five of the six batters he faced Sunday in his first rehab start with Single-A St. Lucie. He hit the other batter he faced with a pitch.

EDGE Analysis

Though his performance comes with the caveat that he was facing off against a lineup mostly made up of teenagers or players in their first year of professional ball, deGrom certainly looked to be in peak form during the 24-pitch outing, which was his first regular-season start at any level since July 7, 2021. He threw 18 strikes on the afternoon, eclipsing 100 miles per hour on seven of his pitches, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. DiComo also notes that team officials anticipate deGrom will need 3-to-5 rehab starts while he goes through a spring training-style ramp-up program, in which case he wouldn't line up for a start before the Mets' final game of the first half July 17 in Chicago if he sticks to a four-day rest schedule. However, if deGrom is able to stretch out to five innings during his rehab assignment and remains free of setbacks to his right shoulder, he should be ready to make a start during the Mets' first series out of the All-Star break.

DeGrom (shoulder) will make a rehab start Sunday for Single-A St. Lucie, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After throwing 27 pitches in a live batting practice session Wednesday, deGrom is ready to return to a live setting. DeGrom was shut down just before the start of the season with a stress reaction in his right scapula, and the Mets have taken a cautious approach to his rehab, building the all-world starter back up slowly. Expect him to make more than one rehab start in the minors. If all goes well, it's reasonable to think he could make one start for the big-league team before the All-Star break, but that's not a guarantee.
