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.
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. If the Mets find themselves out of the playoff picture before then, they might have little incentive to bring deGrom back at all.
