New York Mets superstar ace Jacob deGrom was pulled from Friday's start against the San Diego Padres with right flexor tendonitis, the team announced.
The 32-year-old previously missed about two weeks in May with tightness in his lower back and right side. When healthy, though, he's been essentially unhittable, with a 0.56 ERA--the lowest in MLB history through 10 starts.
No surprises there. The veteran pitcher is a two-time Cy Young award winner (2018-19), a three-time All-Star and was the 2014 NL Rookie of the Year. He's pretty good, in other words.
