Jacob deGrom To Throw Bullpen Friday
4 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (lat) played catch up to 90 feet on Thursday and will attempt to throw a bullpen session on Friday. He remains lined up to return to the starting rotation on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks after missing just one start with right lat soreness. David Peterson will start in the series opener on Friday, with Joey Lucchesi likely to pitch the bulk innings on Saturday. deGrom continues to be the best pitcher in baseball, sporting a ridiculous 0.51 ERA and 0.57 WHIP through 35 innings over five starts this year. He has struck out 59 batters while issuing just four walks and is a set-and-forget starting pitcher each time he toes the rubber.
