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.

DeGrom is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his sore right shoulder Thursday, but he said after exiting his start in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Cubs that he's "confident that this is nothing [serious]," Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In what's becoming a recurring theme, the two-time Cy Young winner once again had another brilliant start cut short due to injury. He struck out eight over three perfect frames and plated a run on a base hit before the shoulder issue resulted in him being pulled in favor of long reliever Sean Reid-Foley. While deGrom expressed frustration about his latest health-related setback, he believes that like the flexor tendinitis and right side tightness he dealt with earlier this season, his shoulder issue is also a minor concern. Tests conducted after Wednesday's game already indicated his throwing shoulder had no decline in strength compared to his left shoulder, leaving deGrom is hopeful that the MRI will reveal no red flags. The right-hander tentatively lines up to make his next start in one of the Mets' doubleheader games versus Atlanta on June 21.

DeGrom (undisclosed) was removed from Wednesday's game against the Cubs after three innings with right shoulder soreness, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sean Reid-Foley entered the game in relief. DeGrom looked his usual, dominant self, requiring 51 pitches to strike out eight hitters in three perfect frames. He also added an RBI single. It's certainly concerning that he's dealing with an injury independent of the elbow issue that shortened his previous start. More details about deGrom's condition and when he will pitch again should become available after the game.

Mets manager Luis Rojas said deGrom (elbow) checked out fine after playing catch Sunday, putting the right-hander on track to make his next turn through the rotation Wednesday against the Cubs, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom cruised through the first six innings during Friday's win over the Padres, but he was pulled after tossing just 80 pitches with what the Mets described as right flexor tendinitis. Though the fact that he's dealing with another elbow-related issue is less than ideal, deGrom seems to have at least temporarily cleared up concern about his health by feeling normal while playing catch two days after exiting his start. DeGrom looks like he'll return to the mound Wednesday without any major workload restrictions.

DeGrom (elbow) underwent an MRI which came back clean Saturday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom dominated the Padres through six innings Friday but left after just 80 pitches due to flexor tendinitis in his right elbow. He played catch Saturday, which seemingly backs up his optimism that he'll make his next start, which lines up to happen Wednesday against the Cubs.

DeGrom (flexor tendonitis) is hopeful that he will make his next start, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He has dealt with elbow issues before without missing much time, and he said his level of concern with this current injury is "not too high." DeGrom had been feeling it all week but felt great ahead of Friday's start against the Padres, and indeed he was nearly flawless over six shutout innings prior to exiting with the injury. Trainers apparently did several ligament tests on his elbow and everything checked out OK. If he doesn't end up missing any time, deGrom lines up to start Wednesday at home against the Cubs.

DeGrom left Friday's start against the Padres with right flexor tendonitis, which is a finger injury, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was nearly unhittable, giving up one hit, zero runs and zero walks while striking out 10 over six frames. DeGrom's pitch count was up to 80, so he probably would have logged one more inning at most even if he was fully healthy. He has come back quickly from injuries that have sounded more serious than this one, so he should be considered questionable for next week's start at home against the Cubs.
