DeGrom had thrown a modified side session on Wednesday.
After his session on Wednesday, deGrom said he thinks he's on track for Opening Day.
"I think if things keep going smooth, I don't think there's a reason I shouldn't be (ready)," he said, adding that he only needs to reach 75 or so pitches by the end of Spring Training to be stretched out enough to start the regular season.
