deGrom on bereavement/medical emergency list

CLEVELAND -- The Mets on Saturday placed pitcher Jacob deGrom on Major League Baseball's bereavement/medical emergency list due to an issue regarding his newborn baby. The team planned to release further information later Saturday.

DeGrom, who has not pitched since April 8 due to a right lat strain, will not make his next start Tuesday in Philadelphia. Right-hander Logan Verrett will start in his place.
