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.

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.
