The Mets will see how ace Jacob deGrom fares this week after being scratched from his 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, with a major league-best 0.51 ERA in five starts. Still, he is just 2-2 as New York continues to have trouble scoring runs for him. Also, Washington star Juan Soto will be limited to pinch-hitting duty for now after coming off the injured list.
