Mets’ deGrom on track to start Tuesday against Colorado
MIAMI (AP) — New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom is on track to start Tuesday at home against the Colorado Rockies after being sidelined since May 9 with tightness in his right side. DeGrom threw a side session Sunday, and manager Luis Rojas said “everything looked good.” DeGrom struck out eight and walked none Thursday in three hitless innings during an injury rehabilitation outing for the St. Lucie Mets. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner is 3-2 and has an MLB-leading 0.68 ERA in six starts this year. He has 65 strikeouts and seven walks in 40 innings.
