Mets scratch Jacob deGrom because of neck tightness
The New York Mets have scratched two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom from his start against the Phillies on FridayAUGUST 14, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dealing with neck stiffness DeGrom was scratched from Friday's start against the Phillies with neck tightness, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
Impact The 32-year-old apparently experienced the tightness following Sunday's start versus the marlins, and the issue lingered throughout the week. DeGrom plans to throw a bullpen session Sunday or Monday since there's no structural issues, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, leaving his status for his next couple turns through the rotation up in the air.

Scratched from Friday's start DeGrom was scratched from Friday's start at Philadelphia for unspecified reasons, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Impact The team hasn't provided an official reason for deGrom being scratched, but he did have a finger issue crop up during his previous start Sunday. It's also unclear who will be taking the mound Friday for the Mets, but more information should be available later in the afternoon.

Cleared for Friday's start DeGrom (finger) will start Friday's game against the Phillies in Philadelphia.
Impact DeGrom indicated after his most recent start Sunday against the Marlins that he experienced a finger issue during the outing, but he was able to complete a between-starts bullpen session to stay on his normal rest schedule heading into Friday's turn. The right-hander, who has gone 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 22 innings this season, isn't expected to face any limitations Friday.

AUGUST 10, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Minor finger issue surfaces DeGrom (2-0) allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings as he earned the win Sunday against the Marlins.
Impact DeGrom was able to limit Miami's run production Sunday despite allowing nine baserunners over his five innings of work. As a result, he put himself in line for the win in the 4-2 contest. However, the right-hander revealed after the game that he felt a minor issue in his finger during the game, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports. He didn't sound too concerned about it, saying that it could be the start of a blister that shouldn't affect him. It's unlikely that he'll miss time due to his lack of concern about the severity, but deGrom's status could be worth monitoring ahead of his scheduled start in Philadelphia on Friday.

Fans 10 in win DeGrom (1-0) picked up the win Monday in a 7-2 victory over Atlanta, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out 10.
Impact For once, the Mets gave their ace plenty of run support, and deGrom didn't let it go to waste. He continues to flash career-best velocity, hitting triple digits on the radar gun five times Monday, in addition to his arsenal of nasty breaking and off-speed pitches. DeGrom will look to extend his quality start streak to three in his next outing, scheduled for Sunday at home against the Marlins.
