Mets hope Jacob deGrom can start this weekend

The New York Mets sent a shockwave through the baseball landscape on Tuesday evening when they scratched reigning Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom from his scheduled start in St. Louis.

Mother Nature did the Mets a favor and the game on Tuesday was rained out. But that doesn’t change the reality that Mets fans are still concerned that the best pitcher in baseball isn’t 100 percent.

After Tuesday’s game was officially postponed, the Mets announced that an MRI revealed inflammation in deGrom’s right lat.
