News: Jacob deGrom has suffered a setback -- additional inflammation in his right arm. The Mets are shutting him down from throwing for two weeks, and he will require a ramp-up after that. September is now looking like a best-case scenario for deGrom's return.

Injuries have been the only thing to slow deGrom down in 2021, although it has been a significant story of the season.
