Jacob deGrom seen throwing on field after promising injury report

New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom had another injury scare when he left Wednesday’s game against the Chicago Cubs after three innings with apparent right shoulder soreness.

Fortunately, the best pitcher on the planet was seen throwing on the field on Thursday afternoon.

Great sign. Jacob deGrom is out on the field throwing right now.

This comes as good news, primarily because deGrom had another injury issue in his previous start, as well.

Earlier, Anthony DiComo of mlb.com reported that the Mets received a positive report on deGrom’s shoulder and that he will be sent for a second opinion.
