PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- After enjoying their lone day off of spring training, which included Yoenis Cespedes hosting teammates for a barbecue at his ranch, the New York Mets get back to business on Thursday.
Jacob deGrom and Steven Matz are due to pitch for the Mets against Jose Fernandez and the Miami Marlins on Thursday at 1:05 p.m. ET at Roger Dean Stadium (no Mets radio/TV).
DeGrom will be pitching for the first time since skipping a start on Monday because of back stiffness.
