Morning Briefing: Welcome home! Mets set to host Phillies

NEW YORK -- Hair we go … maybe!

Jacob deGrom is poised to start the New York Mets' 1:10 p.m. ET home opener on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies, unless he gets a call from wife Stacey that she is going into labor with the couple's first child in Florida. Bartolo Colon would step in to oppose right-hander Jerad Eickhoff if deGrom gets late news and needs to be scratched.
