Five days after seemingly avoiding a serious injury scare to their star pitcher, the alarm is sounding once again for Jacob deGrom.
deGrom left Wednesday's start against the Cubs after throwing three perfect innings and 51 pitches. He exited his June 11 start against the Padres after striking out 10 batters on 80 pitches in six innings with right flexor tendinitis.
deGrom struck out eight of the nine hitters he faced on Wednesday. He also hit an RBI single in his only plate appearance, giving him six RBIs on the season compared to just four earned runs allowed.
