Jacob deGrom

Jacob deGrom was transferred to the 60-day injured list by the Mets on Tuesday as he continues to deal with a shoulder injury.

deGrom has not yet made his season debut and it will be a while before we see him back on a mound in-game, as his return is now pushed back until after the All-Star break. It makes sense that the Mets are being cautious with him, as they have found success this season without him in the rotation.

New York Mets SP Jacob deGrom has been cleared to begin loading and strengthening his shoulder after the MRI and CT scan revealed "considerable healing of the stress fracture".

deGrom has been sidelined all season thus far but seems to have made a big step forward in his recovery as he is now cleared to begin the rehab process, which begins with him loading and strengthening his shoulder. The starting pitcher will be re-imaged in three weeks and the Mets will then know at that point how his recovery is coming along after building up shoulder in the coming weeks.

New York Mets ace Jacob DeGrom is slated for his next MRI on Monday, contrary to earlier reports.

Mets manager Buck Showalter previously alluded that DeGrom had received an MRI on Friday. He backtracked on Sunday, instead announcing that he only received a CT scan. The MRI is Monday. Once the results are back, the Mets will likely have a more specific timetable for his potential return.

Mets ace Jacob DeGrom is slated to undergo another MRI on April 25 to check the progress of his injured shoulder.

DeGrom still is yet without an official timetable for his return. The Mets righty also underwent a bone scan that confirmed the initial diagnosis of the right scapula stress reaction. Hopefully after this upcoming MRI, there will be more clarity on his possible return.

MRI results on Jacob deGrom showed a stress reaction in his right scapula.

Fantasy Impact

The early report is that deGrom will be shut down from throwing for four weeks, but the timetable for scapular injuries similar to this can be quite ambiguous as the treatment is typically rest. Fantasy managers who roster the right hander most likely expected some injury issues and hopefully have a back-up plan they can now put into action while we wait. Tylor Megill is his most likely replacement in the Mets starting rotation.
