Fantasy Impact:
The Mets righty has been out all year with a stress reaction to his right scapula. New York has understandably been very cautious with his recovery. Even without him and Max Scherzer for much of the year, the Mets lead the NL East by 5.5 games over the Atlanta Braves. Considering that, expect the Mets to continue to take things slowly with deGrom. A mid-July return seems feasible.
