Mets’ get their star pitcher back for Tuesday game

After being removed from his May 9 start against the Arizona Diamondbacks before starting the sixth inning with tightness on his right side, New York Mets’ starter Jacob deGrom is set to return to the big league roster to take the ball on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies.

The piece of news was provided by Mets’ manager Luis Rojas, per the team official site. In the end, deGrom ended up missing two turns in the rotation with the ailment, but over the weekend, he proved he is just fine by touching 102 mph in the radar gun and striking out eight of the 10 foes he faced in a rehab outing in Low-A.
