Mets manager Luis Rojas said deGrom (forearm) "felt good" while throwing off a mound Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. "Everything is progressing well as of now," Rojas said of deGrom's recovery from right forearm tightness. "What is the next step? I don't know at this point."

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom stepped back on the mound Sunday for the first time since being diagnosed with the injury July 17, and though the workout went according to plan, the team isn't yet willing to commit to a rehab schedule for the right-hander. According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets do intend to have deGrom make a minor-league rehab start prior to being activated from the injured list, which means the National League MVP candidate wouldn't be on track to rejoin the big club until early August at the soonest, given where he currently stands in his recovery program. Fantasy managers can probably feel confident that they won't miss out on a deGrom start by keeping him inactive for the Mets' upcoming eight-game week.

DeGrom (forearm) threw off a mound Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets haven't disclosed whether deGrom completed a true bullpen session, but even light throwing off the mound would mark the first time that he's toed the rubber since being shut down more than a week ago with right forearm tightness. Before making his return from the injured list, deGrom will likely need to complete at least one more bullpen session and face hitters in a live batting practice session or simulated game. He could return to make a start in next weekend's series versus the Reds in a best-case scenario, but it's more likely deGrom's absence stretches into August.

Manager Luis Rojas said Saturday it's unclear when deGrom (forearm) will begin throwing bullpens, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The righty has been playing catch and receiving treatment for his sore forearm, but he doesn't appear particularly close to continuing his throwing progression. Additional information about deGrom and when he might return from the injured list should become available in the next week or so. At this rate, his absence may be long enough that a rehab.assignment will be necessary.

DeGrom (forearm) played catch again Friday but has yet to advance to mound work, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom has battled multiple nagging injuries throughout the year, though you wouldn't know it when looking at his 1.08 ERA and 0.55 WHIP through 15 starts. He's in the middle of his longest absence thus far, and while the fact that he's yet to throw off a mound means his return to game action isn't imminent, it's certainly a positive that he continues to be able to throw in some capacity.

DeGrom (forearm) threw off flat ground at Citi Field on Thursday, SNY reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom has been on the injured list since Sunday due to right forearm tightness, but he's been improving recently while shut down from throwing. The Mets were insistent that the right-hander wouldn't resume throwing until his forearm tightness had completely dissipated, so it appears as though he's in a good place in his recovery. A better idea of deGrom's return timetable could come into focus once he's able to ramp up his intensity.

DeGrom (forearm) is improving but has yet to resume throwing, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom has battled nagging injuries throughout the year but previously hadn't gone more than 15 days between starts. He'll surpass that mark Friday, and it remains unclear exactly when the Mets expect him to pitch again. He's currently back in New York continuing to receive treatment.

The Mets placed deGrom (forearm) on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

The ace will not resume throwing until his right forearm tightness has completely dissipated. How long that will take is unclear at this time, but deGrom has dealt with enough minor arm injuries in 2021 that the Mets are likely to be especially cautious with timing his return. No corresponding transaction has been announced yet, but it figures to be a pitcher replacing deGrom on the active roster.

DeGrom is getting treatment for forearm tightness, but an MRI administered Saturday didn't reveal any structural damage, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

His side session was halted Friday due to the injury and he is currently in a no-throw period. Given the results of the MRI, the team is treating him for forearm tightness, and while deGrom is being labeled as day-to-day, he'll miss his scheduled start Monday in Cincinnati. He has been a quick healer in the past, but he also dealt with elbow and shoulder issues in June, so perhaps everything is starting to take its toll.

As expected, deGrom will not pitch Sunday against the Pirates, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom started the first game of the Mets' doubleheader Wednesday against Milwaukee, so it was expected that he would not appear again before the All-Star break. He's been excellent throughout the entire first half of the season, maintaining a 1.08 ERA and 0.54 WHIP with 146 strikeouts across 92 innings.

DeGrom allowed two runs on four hits and struck out 10 in seven innings, taking a no-decision in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was effective Wednesday despite allowing multiple home runs for the first time in 15 starts this season. DeGrom gave up solo shots to Luis Urias and Jace Peterson, and that nearly saddled him with the loss were it not for Jose Peraza's game-tying homer in the bottom of the seventh. This was the third start in a row deGrom has allowed multiple runs, but he still has an outstanding 1.08 ERA, 0.54 WHIP and 146:11 K:BB across 92 innings. His next start is expected to come after the All-Star break.
