Mets ace deGrom to make at least 1 more rehab start July 22 sharefacebooktwitterredditlink NEW YORK (AP) Mets ace Jacob deGrom will make at Houston Astros Jersey least one more minor league rehab start before rejoining New York's rotation.The two-time Cy Young Award winner, sidelined all season by a stre s reaction in his right scapula, threw 60 pitches over five innings in a simulated game Thursday at the teams complex in Florida. Mets manager Buck Showalter said deGrom felt good Friday and his next step will be a throwing se sion Sunday as part of a work day at Citi Field in New York. After that, if all goes well, he'll pitch for a Jose Altuve Jersey minor league affiliate a few days later and then get slotted into the big league rotation.That means deGrom definitely won't return in time to face the cro stown New York Yankees at Citi Field next Tuesday or Wednesday. The earliest po sibilities for his season debut would be July 31 at Miami or a three-game series in Washington from Aug. 1-3.The right-hander has already made three minor league rehab starts totaling 8 2/3 innings. He's allowed an unearned run and five hits with 15 strikeouts and one walk. He went four innings during the most recent one last week for Triple-A Syracuse.It's still unclear which affiliate deGrom will pitch for next.The 34-year-old deGrom was initially supposed to throw live batting practice Tuesday, but the outing was pushed back two days after he experienced muscle sorene s in his pitching shoulder. DeGrom hasnt pitched in the majors Evan Gattis Jersey since July 7, 2021. He mi sed the second half of last season with right forearm tightne s and a sprained elbow.Even without him, the Mets had a 2 1/2-game lead in the NL East over defending World Series champion Atlanta as they got set to open the second half Friday night at home against the San Diego Padres.___More AP MLB:make_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, ' ', 'https://apnews.com/hub/MLB', '', ' class="postlink"') andmake_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, ' ', 'https://twitter.com/AP_Sports', '', ' class="postlink"') in this topic Nolan Ryan Jersey National League Major League Baseball New York Mets New York Mets share World Cup fans find booze at hotels, Qatar's 1 liquor store Qatar's strict rules regarding alcohol have drawn attention as it hosts the World Cup 47 MINS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Sterling leaves England World Cup camp after home break-in England forward Raheem Sterling has left his teams World Cup camp in Qatar and returned to the U.K. after a break-in at his home 50 MINS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Ronaldo looks to shine like Mbapp and Me si at World Cup Cristiano Ronaldo has been overshadowed by the brilliance of Lionel Me si and Kylian Mbapp so far at the World Cup 1 HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Ottawa hosts Los Angeles after Giroux' Jose Cruz Jr. Jersey s 2-goal game The Ottawa Senators host the Los Angeles Kings after Claude Giroux's two-goal game against the San Jose Sharks in the Senators' 5-2 win 1 HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Penguins host the Blue Jackets following Kapanen's hat trick The Pittsburgh Penguins host the Columbus Blue Jackets after Kasperi Kapanen's hat trick against the St. Louis Blues in the Penguins' 6-2 win 1 HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS
