deGrom has already been throwing off flat ground, so if the results are good on this one, he can conceivably start ramping up soon.
DeGrom has been out since Spring Training when the team discovered a stress reaction on his right scapula. This round of imaging will be his third since April 1 and first since an MRI on April 25.
It was reported last week that deGrom had made some progress and was throwing from 60 feet with light intensity. He hasn’t pitched in a major league game since July 7 of last season. In 2021, deGrom was lights-out in the first half with a 7-2 record through 15 starts with a 0.55 WHIP, a 1.08 ERA, and 146 strikeouts in 92 innings.
The Mets are first in the NL East with a 23-13 record, 5.5 games up on the Philadelphia Phillies.
Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the New York Mets are -118 against the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. The Cardinals will send Miles Mikolas to the mound, while Trevor Williams will start for the Mets.
