Mets' deGrom plays catch, studies mechanics amid side issue
Mets ace Jacob deGrom resumed playing catch and plans to evaluate his mechanics after New York placed him on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with tightness in his right sideMAY 11, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
MRI yields good news DeGrom (side) showed no injury or inflammation in his MRI results, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact The righty ace went to the injured list merely as a precaution and, according to the Mets, so his mechanics aren't negatively impacted by his pitching through the tightness. The encouraging MRI results reinforce that deGrom will likely stay on the IL for the minimum of 10 days and return on May 21.

Mets to put deGrom on injured list with right side tightness
Jacob deGrom will be placed on the injured list by the New York Mets with tightness in his right sideMAY 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bound for IL The Mets plan to place deGrom (side) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Though the MRI deGrom required following his early exit from Sunday's start against the Diamondbacks revealed no structural issues or long-term concerns, the Mets seem content to err on the side of caution and shut the right-hander down for the week. Assuming his injured right side shows improvement over the next few days while he rests up, deGrom looks like he'll be on track to return from the IL when first eligible May 21 or shortly thereafter.

Impact DeGrom was lifted after five innings during his start Sunday against the Diamondbacks due to right side tightness, an injury that previously resulted in him being scratched from his previously scheduled outing earlier in the week. At this stage, the Mets aren't certain if deGrom will be ready to make his next turn through the rotation in Tampa Bay during the upcoming weekend, but if not, he's unlikely to require much longer than the typical four days' rest between starts. The Mets have off days coming Monday and Thursday, so the Mets could get by with a shortened rotation until next week if deGrom requires more time to heal up from the side injury.

Undergoing MRI DeGrom (side) will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his injury, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Impact Manager Luis Rojas still classified deGrom's injury as right side tightness following Sunday's early exit. However, Rojas said that the issue is closer to deGrom's lower back than to his lat, which is somewhat encouraging since the right-hander missed his scheduled start Tuesday due to right lat inflammation. A better idea of deGrom's status moving forward could be known once his tests are complete.

Side tightness prompts exit DeGrom was removed from Sunday's start against Arizona as a precaution due to right side tightness, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact It's the same injury that scratched the right-hander from his start last Tuesday, though that was eventually diagnosed as right lat inflammation. The Mets labeling the removal as a precaution should be a good sign, but it doesn't provide much relief with deGrom just missing a start with the same injury. Before departing with the injury while the Mets held a 2-1 lead, deGrom gave up an earned run on one hit and three walks while striking out six over five innings.
