Mets’ silence casts next Jacob deGrom start into question

Jacob deGrom

There is apparently a serious possibility that Jacob deGrom won’t make his next start for the New York Mets.

After laboring through five innings and allowing three runs to the Marlins on Thursday, deGrom called the trainer into the clubhouse after he was pulled from the game. There was an insistence from all involved that everything was fine, but manager Terry Collins seemed to indicate that wasn’t the case when speaking to the media on Friday.

The Mets are being tight-lipped at the moment, but it wouldn’t be a big surprise if something were bothering deGrom. He has allowed 16 runs in his last 14.2 innings. It’s just the latest blow in what has been a trying, injury-riddled season for the reigning NL champs, and frustration has mounted inside and outside of the clubhouse. A deGrom injury of any length could be a fatal blow to what remains of their wildcard hopes.
