DeGrom was removed from Sunday's start against Arizona as a precaution due to right side tightness, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the same injury that scratched the right-hander from his start last Tuesday, though that was eventually diagnosed as right lat inflammation. The Mets labeling the removal as a precaution should be a good sign, but it doesn't provide much relief with deGrom just missing a start with the same injury. Before departing with the injury while the Mets held a 2-1 lead, deGrom gave up an earned run on one hit and three walks while striking out six over five innings.

DeGrom left Sunday's start against the Diamondbacks with an apparent injury, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

He missed his last start with right lat inflammation, though it's unclear if he aggravated that injury Sunday or is dealing with a new issue.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old was the expected starter after being scratched from his previously scheduled outing with right lat inflammation, and the Mets have now officially confirmed him as the pitcher for Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Lat inflammation scratched deGrom from his scheduled start Tuesday against the Cardinals, but it doesn't look as though he'll have to miss more than one turn in the rotation. He played catch Thursday and threw a bullpen session Friday, getting through both without issues, so he should make his Sunday start unless the inflammation suddenly returns.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

The Mets insisted that deGrom was fine when they pushed his start back from Monday to Tuesday, indicating that they simply wanted to give him an extra day to rest. It now looks as though the decision may have been injury-related, though it's possible the side issue didn't show up until Tuesday. Per Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, deGrom is only expected to miss one start. Miguel Castro will be the team's first pitcher in what looks like a bullpen game Tuesday.
