Mets’ Jacob deGrom set to make second rehab start

Jacob deGrom will take one other step towards Citi Area on Friday night time in Daytona Seaside, Fla.

The Mets’ two-time Cy Younger award winner, who's getting back from a stress response on his proper scapula, is scheduled to make his second rehab begin with Single-A St. Lucie.

DeGrom is ready to throw three “ups,” in response to the staff, which might at the least take him into the third inning of his begin.

In his first rehab begin on Sunday, deGrom threw 24 pitches whereas placing out 5 of the six batters he confronted in 1 ²/₃ innings. He topped out at 101 mph and clocked triple-digit velocities on seven pitches.

“It’s been good, everyone’s been upbeat about it,” supervisor Buck Showalter stated Thursday earlier than the Mets’ 10-0 win over the Marlins. “And other people discuss, ‘Is he throwing too onerous?’ When a man with one other uniform will get within the batter’s field — that’s type of what he stated: ‘I’m not making an attempt to, it’s simply impulsively the man’s making an attempt to hit me and beat me and I am going in to pitch.’ Which is nice from a standpoint of preparing for what’s going to occur right here.

“I’d quite [answer] the query, ‘Is he throwing too onerous?’ than, ‘Is he throwing too comfortable?’ The place does that finish? What’s the right velocity? … So wouldn't it be good this time for him to not throw as onerous? I do not know. It’s all going to get answered if and when — not if, however when he will get right here.”


Earlier than Thursday’s sport, the Mets optioned right-handed reliever Adonis Medina to Triple-A Syracuse and known as up right-handed reliever Jake Reed.

Reed wasted no time contributing, throwing two good innings with a pair of strikeouts to shut out the sport.

Medina had thrown three scoreless innings in Wednesday’s win over the Reds after a quick begin from David Peterson. The 25-year-old Medina owns a 3.00 ERA throughout 21 innings this season.


The Mets on Thursday devoted the Citi Area mailroom to long-time worker Tod Tillotson, who handed away final August, as a part of their first Incapacity Satisfaction Evening. Tillotson, who was deaf, began working within the Mets’ mailroom as a 15-year-old in 1964 earlier than retiring after the 2019 season.
