Jacob deGrom Throws 20 Pitches Saturday
2 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) threw 20 pitches in one inning of live batting practice on Saturday. He will throw at least one more live batting practice session in the coming days before he's evaluated for a possible minor league rehab assignment. deGrom faced live hitters for the first time on Tuesday, and he continues to ramp up his workload. The 34-year-old right-hander has yet to pitch at all in 2022, but he could rejoin New York's rotation by the end of July, barring any setbacks on his rehab assignment, which will likely be a lengthy one. deGrom is trying to return from a stress reaction in his right scapula. One of the best pitchers in baseball when healthy, deGrom obviously should be stashed in all fantasy leagues.
