Jacob deGrom Makes Rehab Start For Class A St. Lucie

[RealGM Wiretap]

New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom struck out five of the six batters he faced and threw 18 of 24 pitches for strikes in his first minor league rehab start for Class A St. Lucie on Sunday.

The other batter was hit by a pitch.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner has been sidelined all season because of a stress reaction in his right scapula that caused inflammation.

HELL yeah! There is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm amazed the Mets have done this well without Sherzer and deGrom during their hardest schedule. With the schedule lightening up and both of them back, it's going to be very nice! Sherzer starts Tuesday.
