JACOB DEGROM NEWS

Starting Wednesday DeGrom will start Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact He will get an extra day of rest, as he was unable to get on a mound for a side session until Monday due to the team's altered schedule. Seth Lugo will start a bullpen game in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader while Rick Porcello starts the matinee. The Mets would not confirm that deGrom would not pitch later this week, so we may see him pitch on short rest against the Yankees on Sunday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Stellar in no-decision DeGrom allowed just four hits and struck out seven through six shutout innings Wednesday against the Marlins. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact DeGrom put himself in good position to pick up his third consecutive win Wednesday after firing six dominant innings but his day was spoiled after the Mets' bullpen squandered another late lead. The reigning NL Cy Young winner owns an impressive 1.93 ERA and 7:1 K:BB through 28 innings pitched. He is scheduled to take the mound against Tuesday in what will be his third consecutive start against the Marlins.

Won't be limited Wednesday DeGrom won't have any workload limitations for his start Wednesday in Miami, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact 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.

Slated to pitch Wednesday DeGrom (neck) will pitch Wednesday against the Marlins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact 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.

Dealing with neck stiffness DeGrom was scratched from Friday's start against the Phillies with neck tightness, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact 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.
