The New York Mets say an MRI and a CT scan on ace Jacob deGrom showed "considerable healing" as he works his way back from a stress reaction on his right shoulder blade that has sidelined him since spring training.
According to a statement from the team on Monday night, the right-hander "has been cleared to begin loading and strengthening of the shoulder."
DeGrom will have follow-up tests on the shoulder in about three weeks, the Mets said.
The two-time National League Cy Young winner has been on the 10-day injured list since the beginning of the season with the injury.
