The New York Mets have been lucky to avoid injuries and illness so far during spring training 2.0, but not anymore. Mets fans received the worst possible news Tuesday night when Anthony DiComo of MLB.com announced Jacob deGrom had picked up a back injury. It was severe enough that the Mets pulled deGrom from their intrasquad game after just one inning.
Jacob deGrom left tonight's intrasquad game after one inning due to back tightness.
