Jacob deGrom Exits Mets vs. Padres Early with Flexor Injury

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.
