CHICAGO — As expected, Jacob deGrom’s next and maybe last rehab outing will take place at Clover Park.
The Mets ace is scheduled to pitch a live batting practice, or simulated game, on Tuesday at Port St. Lucie, Fla. That will be considered his fourth rehab start as his odyssey back to the majors from a shoulder injury is nearing its end.
DeGrom tossed 42 pitches across four innings in his latest rehab start on Thursday at Triple-A Syracuse. He was cleared to throw up to 50 pitches, but his efficient outing against Miami’s Triple-A affiliate, the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, saw him finish the start even sooner.
