The Mets, who I tried to help by warning early and often that they would break deGrom, did not bother to send me a press release. That’s OK Mets, you be friends with Tim and Tim and just know when they get bored and get promoted to the Yankees beat I will still be here for you (because you won’t have won the World Series while nicely dressed.)
I am always here to love you even if you don’t love me back. Fortunately my friends at Sports Illustrated have this info:
The Mets confirmed that Jacob deGrom will be placed on the injured list with right side tightness after scans revealed no damage https://buff.ly/2RFPgeA
So there’s no damage but he’s on the IL because reasons.
I actually think this is wise given the two off-days. No now maniacs can start him even though he kept asking for extra days and left his last two starts early. He’s fine. Definitely fine.
And if he’s not, it’s not like someone saw this coming.
