New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom will miss the remainder of the 2021 season with right elbow inflammation.
The 33-year-old has been out since July 7 with the injury. While there was optimism at several points that he would return, he has suffered several setbacks in his recovery as the Mets flounder out of playoff contention.
When deGrom was in the lineup, he was in the midst of perhaps the greatest pitching season in MLB history. He was 7-2 with a 1.02 ERA and 0.55 WHIP in 15 starts, striking out a jaw-dropping 146 batters in 92 innings.
