• Mets' Jacob deGrom: Won't pitch again this season

  09/28/2021 •

  DeGrom (elbow) will not pitch again this season, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. DeGrom reportedly hasn't suffered a setback, as he felt fine following a side session Monday. Manager Luis Rojas indicated that deGrom would return if they Mets still had anything to play for, but since that's no longer the case, the team decided there wasn't any reason to risk anything with their ace. Given that he's effectively healthy at this point, deGrom should be in line for a relatively normal offseason.

• Mets' Jacob deGrom: Still expects to return

  09/21/2021 •

  DeGrom (elbow) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday and still expects to return before the end of the season, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. DeGrom only resumed mound work one week ago, and there are less than two weeks remaining in the regular season, but he's still evidently expecting to return in some capacity. He'll throw another bullpen session later this week, which could theoretically give him time to return and make an appearance or two, though he'll likely be on a significantly reduced pitch count if that happens.

  DeGrom (elbow) threw 10 pitches off a mound Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

DeGrom is attempting to make a return before the end of the regular season, but time is running out with less than three weeks to go in the campaign.

  Manager Luis Rojas said Sunday that he's hopeful deGrom (elbow) will be able to resume mound work this week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. DeGrom threw from 120 feet off flat ground last week, and resuming mound work would be a clear step in the right direction. The right-hander is running out of time to return in 2021 with just three weeks remaining in the regular season, but Rojas remains hopeful that deGrom will be able to make an appearance or two late in the year.
