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.

An MRI on Monday showed deGrom (shoulder) had "considerable healing of the stress reaction on his scapula," Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. He's been cleared for "loading and strengthening of the shoulder."

EDGE Analysis

The team's release mentioned nothing about when the right-hander might return to throwing, but he is moving in the right direction. DeGrom is set to undergo another MRI in approximately three weeks to determine the next steps in his rehab.

Mets manager Buck Showalter clarified that deGrom (shoulder) underwent a CT scan Friday and is due for an MRI on Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Showalter seemed to suggest Saturday that deGrom received both the CT scan and MRI earlier in the weekend, but the follow-up imaging won't in fact come until Monday. DeGrom is just over three weeks into a four-week shutdown period after he was diagnosed with a stress reaction of his right scapula April 1, so he could be cleared to begin a throwing program within the next few days if the MRI reveals that he's made good progress in his recovery. Even if the MRI yields good news, deGrom will likely need at least three weeks to get his arm conditioned for a starter's workload, so he's unlikely to make his 2022 debut until the second half of May, at the earliest.

DeGrom (shoulder) will undergo a follow-up MRI on April 25, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom is in the midst of a four-week shutdown due to a stress reaction in his right scapula, and his MRI should provide an idea of his recovery progress. The right-hander got a bone scan recently to confirm the original diagnosis of a stress reaction. A timetable for deGrom's return to game action is unlikely to be set until he's cleared to resume throwing.

The Mets officially placed deGrom (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Leading up to Opening Day, the only drama pertaining to deGrom's placement on the IL was whether the Mets would place him on the 10-day IL, or stash him on the 60-day IL to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. The Mets chose to go the former route, but that doesn't necessarily mean deGrom is a safe bet to avoid an eventual move to the 60-day IL, which will be dictated by how he progresses in the weeks to come. The Mets already announced April 1 that deGrom will be shut down from throwing for at least four weeks with a stress reaction in his right scapula, and he'll almost certainly need at least an additional 2-to-3 weeks beyond that to build up for starting duty.

DeGrom (shoulder) was diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right scapula and will be shut down from throwing for four weeks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander will obviously miss Opening Day and is set to be re-evaluated after a month. DeGrom appeared to enter spring training healthy after battling elbow issues last season, but the stress reaction will instead cost him a significant portion of the 2022 campaign. Even if the 33-year-old starts throwing again immediately after the four-week shutdown, he'll likely be sidelined for at least another month as he builds up his arm strength. Tylor Megill should be the favorite for the vacant rotation spot to begin the season, though David Peterson figures to also be in the mix.

DeGrom (shoulder) was officially scratched from his scheduled Grapefruit League start Friday and will undergo an MRI, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old experienced some shoulder tightness while playing catch Thursday, and his availability for Opening Day is now in jeopardy. DeGrom was limited to 15 starts last season due to elbow issues, and a shoulder injury is an ominous way to begin the 2022 campaign. He should be considered day-to-day until the team provides more information on the injury.
