Jacob deGrom will throw one more minor league start before returning to team

Jacob deGrom Buck Showalter Mets Dom Smith Trevor May David Peterson New York

NEW YORK — For as long as he’s hiding in the shadows of minor league fields, rehab starts and simulated games, Jacob deGrom is the great unknown looming over the Mets’ season.

Perhaps the best pitcher of his generation, deGrom hasn’t been any help to his team this year, as a problem in his scapula has kept him from pitching at all. The latest update was that he was “feeling good” after throwing 60 pitches on Thursday — a session that was pushed back because deGrom was feeling sore earlier in the week — and on Friday Mets manager Buck Showalter was able to publicly speak about his expected ace for the first time since before the All-Star break.

“I just talked to Jake. He’ll be traveling here to take a work day with us on Sunday,” Showalter revealed. “Trevor [May] will too. It was fun watching them live yesterday. Trevor’s doing great. I’m really excited about his progress too. But Jake is where he needs to be. We’ll see how Sunday goes.”
