WASHINGTON -- Jacob deGrom went on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a stress reaction on his right shoulder blade as the New York Mets set their 28-man active roster for opening day.
The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner got hurt late in spring training and won't throw for about a month, meaning he is likely out at least until June. The right-handed DeGrom did not play in a game after July 7 last season, when he was sidelined by a sprained elbow in his pitching arm.
Tylor Megill was given the Game 1 start by new Mets manager Buck Showalter for Thursday night's scheduled opener at the Washington Nationals.
