deGrom (4-0) struck out 13 and walked none in Friday's win over the Diamondbacks, giving up one run on six hits in seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
deGrom tied his career-high with 13 strikeouts Friday, the third time in his career he's hit the mark. deGrom tallied 10 swinging strikeouts among the total. After exiting his last start with some discomfort through just one inning, he returned to his dominant form and threw 100 pitches (71 for strikes). deGrom has a 69:14 K:BB in 51.1 innings, and is holding opponents to a .207 batting average. The 29-year-old's 1.75 ERA and 12.1 K/9 are both good for fourth in the majors. His next start will be against the Marlins at home.

DeGrom will now start Friday against Arizona rather than Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom was scheduled to get an extra day of rest but won't need one as he threw just 45 pitches Sunday against the Phillies. Steven Matz will be bumped back from Friday to Saturday to make room for deGrom. The switch has minimal fantasy impact, as deGrom is still facing the same opponent, though he'll avoid a matchup against Patrick Corbin, who has been excellent this season, squaring off against Zack Godley instead.

DeGrom was removed from Sunday's game against the Phillies after just one inning, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom took the mound following a one-hour rain delay and immediately issued walks to the first three batters he faced. He was able to work his way out of the jam by retiring the next three hitters, but manager Mickey Callaway opted to remove deGrom after the inning as a precaution, with the hurler's pitch count sitting at 45. It doesn't sound like he suffered any sort of setback, so deGrom should be able to make his next start Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

DeGrom (elbow) was activated from the 10-day disabled list prior to his Sunday start against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom ended up missing just one start after suffering a hyperextended right elbow in his May 2 outing against the Braves. He'll slot back into the Mets' rotation and look to build on his superb 1.87 ERA. He can be deployed into fantasy lineups with confidence.

DeGrom (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday and will come off the disabled list to start Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The bullpen session was a success, as was his simulated game earlier in the week, so deGrom's owners will get a start from him Sunday against Aaron Nola and the Phillies.

DeGrom (elbow) threw a two-inning simulated game Tuesday and is on track to start Sunday against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom's workout was promising, as manager Mickey Callaway said that the righty's condition was better than expected. Barring any setbacks, deGrom is scheduled to return from the disabled list Sunday against Philadelphia. After seven starts (43.1 innings), deGrom owns a 1.87 ERA and 0.99 WHIP.

DeGrom (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day DL retroactive to May 3.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom was originally scheduled to start Monday despite leaving his last start with a hyperextended elbow in his non-throwing arm, but the Mets doubled back and decided to exercise a little more caution with this decision. They'll instead roll with PJ Conlon on Monday, with deGrom scheduled to make his return when first eligible next Sunday against the Phillies. He'll have to make it through a bullpen session unscathed before that becomes official.

DeGrom (elbow) will no longer start Monday against Cincinnati, and the team is expected to place him on the DL, Anthony reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom had originally planned to pitch through what was diagnosed as a hyperextended left elbow, but the team will instead take a more cautious approach. Nothing has necessarily changed about his outlook, as deGrom is only expected to miss one start during his time on the disabled list. It's unclear at this time who will start Monday in his stead.

DeGrom (elbow) will make his scheduled start Monday against the Reds, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom left Wednesday's game against the Braves with a hyperextended elbow and was initially expected to miss at least four starts. It now appears that he won't miss a single turn in the rotation. He threw a bullpen session Saturday and didn't have any issues, though he won't be allowed to swing a bat Monday.

DeGrom's MRI revealed no ligament or structural damage in his arm or elbow and he will play catch Friday in the hopes of making his next scheduled start against the Reds on Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom was lifted from Wednesday's start with a hyperextended right elbow after throwing four scoreless innings versus the Braves. Fortunately, it appears as though the right-hander received a batch of good news and avoided any serious injury. The Mets released a statement saying that deGrom "will be monitored for soreness and other possible symptoms" so consider him day-to-day ahead of Monday's projected outing. Manager Mickey Callaway further explained that the culprit seemed to be an inflamed muscle that was irritated during deGrom's at-bat in the third inning, according to David Lennon of Newsday Sports. Expect an update on his status following Friday's throwing session.
