Mets Give Update on Jacob deGrom’s Injury Status

The Mets placed starting pitcher Jacob deGrom on the 10-day injured list Thursday ahead of their Opening Day tilt with the Nationals.

The New York ace suffered a stress reaction in his right scapula toward the end of spring training, so his appearance on the injured list to begin the year does not come as a surprise. Despite only being on the 10-day injured list to start the year, deGrom won’t resume throwing for at least a month, the team announced on April 1.

With fellow Cy Young winner Max Scherzer also missing Opening Day with a hamstring “hiccup” that he suffered towards the end of spring training, the Mets will roll with Tylor Megill in the first game of the season against the Nationals.
