DeGrom won't have any workload limitations for his start Wednesday in Miami, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom will be starting for the first time in 10 days after being scratched from his previous start with a stiff neck. He's been able to throw several times in the intervening days, however, so he should be able to pitch deep into the game against the Marlins.

DeGrom (neck) will pitch Wednesday against the Marlins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom threw a bullpen session Monday and felt good afterward, so he'll be able to return to the mound after missing just one start. The right-hander was scratched from his scheduled start Friday with neck stiffness, but he's thrown three times since then and hasn't faced any setbacks. It's unclear whether he'll have a workload restriction during his return.

DeGrom (neck) played catch again Sunday and felt better, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom was scratched from his scheduled start Friday against the Phillies due to neck stiffness. Whether or not he's able to make his next turn in the rotation Wednesday against the Marlins remains up in the air, but he's at least making progress in that direction.

DeGrom (neck) played catch from about 90 feet Saturday afternoon, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom is just going through the proper steps with the hopes that he'll be ready to go for his next turn through the rotation, currently scheduled for Wednesday against the Marlins. The 2019 NL Cy Young winner is expected to throw a bullpen session Sunday if his neck is loose enough.

DeGrom was scratched from Friday's start against the Phillies with neck tightness, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old apparently experienced the tightness following Sunday's start versus the Marlins, and the issue lingered throughout the week. DeGrom plans to throw a bullpen session Sunday or Monday since there's no structural issues, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, leaving his status for his next couple turns through the rotation up in the air. Walker Lockett will take the mound Friday in his absence.

DeGrom was scratched from Friday's start at Philadelphia for unspecified reasons, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The team hasn't provided an official reason for deGrom being scratched, but he did have a finger issue crop up during his previous start Sunday. It's also unclear who will be taking the mound Friday for the Mets, but more information should be available later in the afternoon.

DeGrom (finger) will start Friday's game against the Phillies in Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom indicated after his most recent start Sunday against the Marlins that he experienced a finger issue during the outing, but he was able to complete a between-starts bullpen session to stay on his normal rest schedule heading into Friday's turn. The right-hander, who has gone 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 22 innings this season, isn't expected to face any limitations Friday.

DeGrom (2-0) allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings as he earned the win Sunday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom was able to limit Miami's run production Sunday despite allowing nine baserunners over his five innings of work. As a result, he put himself in line for the win in the 4-2 contest. However, the right-hander revealed after the game that he felt a minor issue in his finger during the game, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports. He didn't sound too concerned about it, saying that it could be the start of a blister that shouldn't affect him. It's unlikely that he'll miss time due to his lack of concern about the severity, but deGrom's status could be worth monitoring ahead of his scheduled start in Philadelphia on Friday.

DeGrom (1-0) picked up the win Monday in a 7-2 victory over Atlanta, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out 10.
EDGE Analysis
For once, the Mets gave their ace plenty of run support, and deGrom didn't let it go to waste. He continues to flash career-best velocity, hitting triple digits on the radar gun five times Monday, in addition to his arsenal of nasty breaking and off-speed pitches. DeGrom will look to extend his quality start streak to three in his next outing, scheduled for Sunday at home against the Marlins.

DeGrom didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's loss to the Red Sox, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
New season, same old story for deGrom, who exited the game with a 3-2 lead but had to watch as the Mets' bullpen squandered it. The right-hander threw 88 pitches (60 strikes) to pick up his first quality start of the year, and he'll try to find some way to get into the win column for a change in his next outing Monday in Atlanta.
