Jacob deGrom has yet to make his 2022 regular season debut, and it sounds like he won’t be doing that for a couple more months after the Mets placed him on the 60-day IL on Tuesday.
The pitcher first dealt with shoulder tightness, which later was discovered as a stress reaction on his scapula after he underwent an MRI in April. His injury was reevaluated this month, resulting in shift from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL, which removes him from the 40-man roster and allows New York to sign another player.
