DeGrom won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Brewers since the game was postponed due to rain, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
New York attempted to wait out the rain and get the game in Tuesday, but the contest was called off more than two hours after the scheduled start time. The game will be made up via a doubleheader Wednesday, and deGrom will start Game 1 of the twin bill, per DiComo. As a result of the postponement, it should be his final start before the All-Star break.

DeGrom allowed three earned runs on five hits while striking out 14 across seven innings in the loss to Atlanta on Thursday. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom allowed his first home run in his last seven starts in the first inning to Austin Riley. All three of his runs allowed were in the first inning. DeGrom has struck out at least 14 in four games this season. Despite allowing three earned runs for the first time this season, the future Hall of Famer is leading all of baseball with a 0.95 ERA and a 14.40 K/9. His next start is scheduled for Tuesday against the Brewers.

DeGrom didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Phillies, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander hadn't been tagged for a run since May 25, but deGrom saw his scoreless streak end at 31 innings on an RBI single by Nick Maton in the second frame. In fact, this was the first time in 2021 he's allowed more than one earned run in an outing. The Mets ace still delivered his ninth quality start of the season, and he sports a 0.69 ERA and absurd 122:11 K:BB through 78 innings on the year.

DeGrom (7-2) picked up the win in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta, striking out two while allowing one hit and two walks across five scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to Sunday, it wasn't even known if deGrom would be able to start Monday after he exited his outing last Wednesday with shoulder soreness. The ace right-hander was indeed able to toe the rubber for the first half of the twin bill and was magnificent once again. He was limited to just 70 pitches (44) strikes, but he said the short outing was simply because the club "didn't want to overdo it" after last week's scare, per Tim Britton of The Athletic. DeGrom has remarkably not allowed a run in his last five starts, over which he's punched out 43 while allowing a total of seven hits and three walks. He'll look to stay on a roll when he takes the ball this weekend against the Phillies, where he should have the leeway to pitch deeper into the ballgame.

The Mets confirmed that deGrom (shoulder) will start the first game of Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though deGrom relayed after playing catch Sunday that he would be ready to go on regular rest for the first game of the series with Atlanta, the Mets weren't willing to confirm his availability until re-evaluating him earlier Monday. With deGrom's right shoulder checking out fine, he's not expected to face any major restrictions in his 12th start of the season. Though deGrom's last two outings have been cut short due to injuries, he was somehow even more dominant than usual in both starts, covering nine innings between them and striking out 18 while allowing no runs on one hit and no walks. Assuming he's able to make it through Monday's start unscathed, deGrom will line up for his second start of the week Saturday or Sunday at home versus the Phillies.

DeGrom (shoulder) confirmed after playing catch Sunday that he'll be ready to start one game of Monday's doubleheader with the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite exiting his second straight start early due to an injury, deGrom's sore right shoulder checked out fine following a full bullpen session Saturday and a round of catch Sunday. The 33-year-old's durability is starting to become more of a concern, but he's left little doubt that he's the game's best pitcher when he's healthy enough to pitch. He'll carry an incredible 0.54 ERA and 0.51 WHIP into his 12th start of the season Monday.

DeGrom (shoulder) threw a full bullpen session Saturday and still plans to start Monday against Atlanta, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom left Wednesday's start due to shoulder soreness after just three innings, but he's thrown on three consecutive days and has felt good after each session. As long as the right-hander isn't sore Sunday, it doesn't appear as though he'll be forced to miss his next turn through the rotation.

DeGrom (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom exited his Wednesday start after just three innings due to shoulder soreness. Fortunately, the ace right-hander's MRI came back clean and he was able to follow up his Thursday throwing session with a Friday bullpen. Assuming he comes out of Friday's session feeling good, all signs point toward him taking the ball sometime early next week.

DeGrom's MRI on his right shoulder was examined by a second doctor who said he isn't concerned with the issue, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom's MRI revealed no structural damage Thursday, and the team had the results examined by two doctors out of an abundance of caution. The Mets are hopeful that the right-hander won't require a trip to the injured list. He played light catch in the outfield ahead of Thursday's game against the Cubs, but manager Luis Rojas wouldn't yet commit to naming deGrom the starter for one of the games in Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta. The 32-year-old is considered day-to-day following his encouraging update.

DeGrom (shoulder) underwent an MRI on Thursday that revealed no structural damage, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom is slated to receive a second opinion out of an abundance of caution, but his first visit with a doctor Thursday brought encouraging results. The 32-year-old exited Wednesday's win over the Cubs with right shoulder soreness, though he's remained confident the issue isn't serious. While the second opinion could help determine the extent of the issue, deGrom still tentatively lines up to start one of the two games in Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta, if he continues to receive positive news.
