NEW YORK -- Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets averted a serious scare Wednesday when an MRI showed nothing to be concerned about, according to multiple reports.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner was sent for tests after exiting an intrasquad game early with tightness in his back.
Mets manager Luis Rojas said a frustrated deGrom left Tuesday night's camp outing after only one inning at Citi Field. He is day-to-day.
Any significant injury to deGrom would be an enormous blow to New York during a season shortened to 60 games due to the coronavirus pandemic.
