JACOB DEGROM NEWS

Timeline remains same after checkup DeGrom was told after his doctor's appointment Monday that the inflammation in his right elbow is improving, but he'll remain shut down from throwing until at least Aug. 27 before...

Impact In his meeting with Dr. David Altchek, deGrom was essentially recommended to follow the two-week shutdown plan recommended by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the orthopedic surgeon whom the right-hander sought for a second opinion last week. Even if he's cleared to begin throwing by the end of August, deGrom will likely need a couple weeks to get his arm conditioned for starting duty, so a mid-September return from the 10-day injured list could be a best-case scenario for the two-time Cy Young Award winner.

Shut down two more weeks DeGrom (elbow) will remain shut down from throwing for at least two more weeks after being reevaluated Friday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact The right-hander underwent an MRI that revealed reduced inflammation in his elbow, but the injury still requires more time to heal. If cleared to resume throwing after the two-week period, deGrom is looking at a potential return in late September, at the earliest, given how long it would take to build his arm back up in a throwing program.

Nearing another MRI DeGrom (elbow) will undergo another MRI in the coming days, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact DeGrom's second MRI has been expected after he was shut down at the end of July due to right forearm inflammation. If the exam comes back clean, the right-hander will restart a throwing program, and a better timetable for his return would come into focus based on how he feels after throwing. The timing of deGrom's next step depends on the results of the MRI, but he appears close to resuming baseball activities.
