DeGrom (shoulder) threw 27 pitches during live batting practice Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The live batting practice session was the third deGrom has thrown in just over a week, and he was able to increase his pitch count Wednesday from his previous two workouts. Mets manager Buck Showalter said that the team will meet Thursday to determine the right-hander's next steps, but the skipper indicated that deGrom is close to beginning a rehab assignment.

DeGrom (shoulder) threw 20 pitches over one inning during live BP on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom faced live hitters for the second time during Saturday's throwing session, and he's slated to throw at least one more live BP in the coming days. Following his next throwing session, the Mets plan to evaluate whether the right-hander is ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment.

DeGrom (shoulder) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old faced live batters for the first time Tuesday, and he'll continue ramping up his workload. Assuming he avoids any setbacks, deGrom could require a couple more sessions of live BP before advancing to a minor-league rehab assignment, which could happen within the next week or two.

DeGrom (shoulder) threw a session of live batting practice Tuesday with no issues, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander, who turned 34 years old Sunday, has been throwing bullpen sessions for the past couple weeks, and he's now advancing to facing live hitters. DeGrom should continue ramping up his pitch count in the coming days before embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment.

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.
