Jacob deGrom on His Recent Rehab Outings
A Look at the Mets' Ace's Progress
A Discussion with the Star Pitcher
New York Mets star pitcher Jacob deGrom recently spoke about his rehab outings as he works his way back from a stress reaction in his right scapula.
The two-time Cy Young Award winner has been sidelined since spring training with the injury. He has made three rehab starts in the minors, allowing just one run in 7 1/3 innings pitched.
deGrom said he is feeling good and is making progress in his recovery. He is expected to make one more rehab start before rejoining the Mets' rotation.
Here are some highlights from deGrom's interview:
- He said he is "excited to get back out there" and is "feeling good" about his recovery.
- He said his velocity is "coming back" and he is "able to throw all of his pitches."
- He said he is "not trying to do too much" in his rehab starts and is "just trying to get my arm strength back."
- He said he is "not sure" when he will be activated from the injured list, but he is "hoping to be back soon."
deGrom's return will be a major boost for the Mets, who are currently in first place in the NL East. The team has struggled with injuries to its starting rotation this season, and deGrom's return will provide a much-needed boost.
deGrom is one of the best pitchers in baseball and his return will be a major storyline for the Mets as they look to make a run at the World Series.
