Mets provide an update on Jacob deGrom and place Starling Marte on the bereavement list

The Mets announced this afternoon that Jacob deGrom’s follow-up imaging revealed “continued healing in the scapula.” The Mets’ ace will “continue to build distance and velocity in his throwing program” and the team will provide updates on his progress “when appropriate.”

“He’s been cleared to move back further and throw harder,” said general manager Billy Eppler on deGrom’s progress. Eppler said that deGrom’s scapula “looked pretty clean” in his recent MRI and that he will defer to team doctors on whether more follow-up imaging will be needed as deGrom ramps up.
