Fantasy Impact
deGrom might not be fully out of the woods yet when it comes to this back injury but it's encouraging that he played catch today. He wants to be at 85 pitches by Opening Day, which means he will try and throw around 60 on Sunday. It'll be important to monitor his status before most fantasy drafts take place next week.
