New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom has been out since July 7 with an elbow injury and there is reportedly only "an outside chance" he will return in 2021, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.
The pitcher was diagnosed as a partially torn UCL, although he did have a positive long-term prognosis on the injury.
"The ligament is perfectly intact at this point," team president Sandy Alderson said Tuesday. "Whatever condition existed before, it's resolved itself."
There are only 22 games left in the regular season with the Mets entering Thursday four games back in the NL East.
