The Mets will see how ace Jacob deGrom fares this week after being scratched from his scheduled start at St. Louis when he had trouble getting loose during a pregame stretch. The team said deGrom had inflammation in his right lat and wouldn’t throw for the next few days. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner has been baseball’s most dominant pitcher this season. Also, Washington star Juan Soto will be limited to pinch-hitting duty for now after coming off the injured list, and Shohei Ohtani is set to pitch again after a two-day delay because he got hit on the right elbow by a fastball last weekend.
