Even with a win behind Jacob deGrom, the Mets absorb another rough day Noah Syndergaard lasted just one inning in his rehab start for the St. Lucie Mets before being removed because of right elbow soreness.

Whiffs nine in no-decision DeGrom did not factor into the decision during Tuesday's win after holding the Rockies to one run on three hits and no walks while striking out nine across five innings.
Impact After missing two Major League starts due to right side tightness, deGrom made a solid return to the rotation. His only damage of the night came via a solo homer by Ryan McMahon in the second inning. Per usual, deGrom found a way to miss bats, throwing 44 of 63 pitches for strikes, including 12 swinging strikes. It's worth noting that he struck out eight of 10 batters during his rehab assignment Thursday and seems to be returning to usual form with his pitch count expected to stretch out in his coming starts. Now sporting a sparkling 0.80 ERA and 0.60 WHIP across seven appearances this year, the 32-year-old is slated for a Sunday matchup at home against Atlanta.

Officially activated DeGrom (side) was officially activated from the injured list Tuesday ahead of his start against the Rockies, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Impact This comes as no surprise, as it was reported earlier in the week that the Mets' ace would take the ball Tuesday against Colorado. DeGrom is not expected to be on any sort of strict pitch count during his return, though New York will likely be cautious with its star right hander.

No pitch count Tuesday DeGrom (side) won't have an official pitch count when he gets activated from the injured list and returns to the rotation Tuesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports. "We want to se...
Impact It's reassuring for fantasy GMs who plan on plugging deGrom back into their lineups right away that he won't be held back too much, but it still wouldn't be a surprise if the Mets' ace comes out of the game a little earlier than he otherwise might after lasting only five innings in his last outing May 9. On the season, deGrom sports an otherworldly 0.68 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 65:7 K:BB through 40 frames over six starts.

Mets' deGrom on track to start Tuesday against Colorado

Lines up to start Tuesday DeGrom (side) threw a bullpen session Sunday and is expected to rejoin the starting rotation Tuesday against the Rockies, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
Impact The 32-year-old made a rehab start with Low-A St. Lucie on Thursday, and it appears he won't require another start in the minors before returning from the shelf. Things won't be official until deGrom is actually activated from the injured list, but he's on track to retake the mound Tuesday for the Mets.

Next step still undecided DeGrom (side) is expected to pitch somewhere Tuesday, but whether that comes against the Rockies or in a rehab game remains to be seen, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact DeGrom was originally expected to miss just one turn in the rotation while dealing with side soreness, but he threw a rehab game Thursday rather than return to the big-league rotation. Previous reports indicated he'd return to the active roster Tuesday, but it looks as though the Mets have yet to make a decision about their ace's immediate future.
