Jacob deGrom will make his season debut against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday, Mets manager Buck Showalter said before the series finale against Miami.
The 34-year-old right-hander was sidelined the final three months of last season with right forearm tightness and a sprained elbow, then was shut down late in spring training because of a stress reaction in his right scapula.
DeGrom has made four minor league rehab starts totaling 12 2/3 innings, two at Class A St. Lucie and two with Syracuse. He's allowed five runs — four earned — and seven hits with 21 strikeouts and four walks, hitting 100 mph on the radar gun even in his first outing. "I think more than anything feeling for him and the emotions he's going through," Showalter said."It's been a long haul for him, knowing how hard he's worked and how frustrating it's been. You know how much he likes to compete and pitch."
DeGrom won consecutive Cy Young Awards in 2018 and 2019. He is 77-53 with a 2.50 ERA in eight major league seasons.© 2022 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.
