7 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (back) is set to throw live batting practice on Sunday, another step towards ensuring he is ready to go by Opening Day. Mets manager Mickey Callaway told the media that deGrom could make his Grapefruit League debut next week, assuming all goes well with Sunday’s batting practice session. deGrom has been limited by lower back stiffness so far this spring, but it was never thought to be serious and certainly doesn’t seem like it with the way he’s progressing. There’s no reason to treat deGrom any differently than you were before his injury.--John Smith
