MIAMI — Jacob deGrom will make his season debut against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday, Mets manager Buck Showalter said before the series finale against Miami on Sunday.
"His workday went well today, a light side," Showalter said. "The plans are for him to pitch Tuesday in Washington."
The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner has not pitched for the Mets since July 7, 2021. The 34-year-old right-hander was sidelined the final three months of last season with right forearm tightness and a sprained elbow, then was shut down late in spring training because of a stress reaction in his right scapula.
