New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom hasn't pitched since July 7 and was shut down from throwing for at least two weeks ahead of the weekend after he suffered additional inflammation in his right arm.
The 33-year-old divulged ahead of Tuesday's matchup at the Miami Marlins that he's dealing with another setback:
Jacob deGrom said his elbow inflammation is a separate issue from the forearm tightness that initially sidelined him — a sixth injury this season.
An MRI and CT scan did not reveal the source of the inflammation, he said.
