Rookie right-hander Jacob deGrom will be evaluated in New York on Monday after experiencing shoulder soreness in the days following Thursday's start against Washington. DeGrom, who is 6-5 with a 2.87 ERA in 16 starts, will not make his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Nationals.

Jenrry Mejia revealed after the game that he has been struggling with a hernia problem for the last three weeks. "Doctors say if it bothers me too much to let him fix it, but I don't want to let him know because I want to keep pitching," Mejia said.

somehow Mets got 7 runs on 5 total bases last night

Bartolo Colon will not take the mound today as the Mets go for the series win against the Cubs. He is on his way home to the Dominican Republic to see his mother, who is in critical condition. Colon's mother had previously been diagnosed with breast cancer back in April.

nice job by torres

mets are the first team to go five straight games with four or fewer hits since . . . the mets, in 2004

maybe they can become the first team to fire the hitting coach twice in a year since...?

the NL really needs to adopt the DH so i never have to see Daniel fuckin' Murphy in the field

I did laugh at lot at this Dan Haren RBI

Murphy to DL, Dice-K returns to throw slop

oh yeah, Dilson Herrera called up from AA! Presumably to start at 2b for a fortnight.

wally backman is your pacific coast league manager of the year

I really fear his ascension to the Citi seat in '16

dilson grounds into dblplay 1st pitch seen in majors

crosspost to 2k14 trivial occurrences

don't know if i've ever before witnessed a winning-rally inning that was 3 runs, 0 hits

(thx/sorry Grady)

Matt who?

Mets going to 6-man rotation at least for this turn, deGrom next on Monday vs Marlins

The Elias Sports Bureau notes that (deGrom is) one of three pitchers in Mets history to have an ERA below 3.00 through the first 20 starts of his debut season. The other two: Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden....

Since starting 0-4, deGrom is 8-2 with a 1.77 ERA in 12 starts. Since June 21, his ERA ranks third-best in baseball, behind only Clayton Kershaw’s 1.19 and Corey Kluber’s 1.61. His .535 opponents’ OPS trails only Kershaw’s .464 and Garrett Richards’ .510.

Not only did the scoreboard watching go right for the Mets from the perspective of the wild-card standings (yes, go ahead and laugh), it went right for deGrom from a statistical perspective as well.

DeGrom’s chief competition in the Rookie of the Year race, Billy Hamilton, finished Tuesday 0-for-4 for the Reds, dropping his batting average to .260.

Unlike the wild card, this will be a neck-and-neck race probably right down to the final day. DeGrom’s pitching entering the day was worth 2.5 Wins Above Replacement. Hamilton was a hair behind him. His offensive and defensive performance has been worth 2.4 WAR.

@AnthonyDiComo
Matt Harvey was consistently throwing 95 mph in his final bullpen session of the year today, according to Sandy Alderson.

8 Ks to start the game!

between him, Wheeler and Harvey, the Mets have something of a ... generation K.

that was a very deflating game to witness

don't forget Syndergaard

nothing good can happen with camo jerseys
