JUPITER, Fla. — New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom will be out for up to four weeks, missing opening day.
The Mets tweeted Friday, "Jacob deGrom underwent an MRI today that revealed a stress reaction on his scapula that has caused inflammation in the area. The immediate prescription is for Jake to discontinue throwing for up to 4 weeks and then reimage the area. At that time, we'll update the plan of care."
DeGrom first experienced tightness while playing catch Thursday.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner had been slated to start the season opener Thursday in Washington.
