MLB Trade Rumors: Jacob deGrom Shut Down For Four Weeks Due To Stress Reaction In Shoulder

Mets.com: deGrom to be shut down for 4 weeks.

NY Post: Jacob deGrom will miss significant time with shoulder injury. "The ace right-hander is headed to the injured list for an extended stretch, after an MRI exam on Friday revealed a stress reaction on his right scapula. DeGrom, according to general manager Billy Eppler, will discontinue throwing for up to four weeks, after which he will have to build up to pitch."

NY Post: Mets’ likely options to replace Jacob deGrom in rotation. Tylor Megill, David Peterson and Trevor Williams entered spring training as the most likely candidates to claim a rotation job should a starter become injured, and all remain on that short list. 

Joel Sherman NY Post: Mets’ offseason dreams crash back into reality amid Jacob deGrom injury. "Perhaps the additions of Scherzer and Bassitt will cover for the Mets, but with a lockout-created shortened spring every team is bracing for pitching injuries, especially early, especially in cold weather. So the Mets’ need to avoid further rotation injuries just swelled into importance."







Per Dennis Lin via twitter: "The Padres and the Mets have discussed a trade concept involving Eric Hosmer, Chris Paddack and Dom Smith."



Mets Junkies Mets Have Discussed Trade with Padres: "If the Mets will try to get Paddack and Hosmer, they get an arm under control but coming off a horrendous year. The 26 year old righty pitched to a 5.07 ERA in 108.1 innings pitched."

Cardinals 7 Mets 2 (Box Score) Wyatt Young PH-2B, 2 for 3, double, 2 RBIs; Alex Ramirez PH-CF, 1 for 3, run scored, 1 walk; Felix Pena (L, 0-1) 2 innings, 3 runs - earned, 4 hits, 1 K; Adam Ottavino 1 inning, 2 runs - earned, 3 hits, 1 HR, 1 walk; Colin Holderman 1 inning, 2 runs - earned, 3 hits, 2 Ks; 

Mets have an inter-squad game today with Max Scherzer on the mound.

SNY.TV: What's Next - "1:10 p.m. game Sunday against the Miami Marlins. Road matchups with the Houston Astros (Monday, 12:05 p.m.) and Washington Nationals (Tuesday, 12:05 p.m.)...before the regular season begins."

1972

After playing a round of golf in West Palm Beach with his coaches on Easter Sunday, Mets manager Gil Hodges, two days shy of his 48th birthday, suffers a fatal heart attack. The club will name current first base coach and former Yankee skipper Yogi Berra to run the team when the strike-delayed season begins.

1984

For the first time in ten years, the Mets lose on Opening Day, bowing to the Reds, 8-1. The last time the team dropped a season opener was in 1974, when Mike Schmidt hit a two-run walk-off home run off Tug McGraw, giving the Phillies a 5-4 victory over New York at Veterans Stadium.

2003

Todd Zeile homers in his first at-bat as a Yankee, becoming the only major leaguer to hit a home run for ten different teams, surpassing Tommy Davis, who went deep for nine different clubs. In addition to homering with the Bronx Bombers, the infielder has also gone deep for the Cardinals, Cubs, Phillies, Orioles, Dodgers, Marlins, Rangers, Mets, and Rockies.

 

BaseballReference:

2010: The injury-ravaged New York Mets round out their roster by making six cuts, sending Ps Nelson Figueroa, Kiko Calero, Bobby Parnell and Elmer Dessens, along with IF Russ Adams and OF Chris Carter, major league veterans all, down to AAA Buffalo. Among those that make it through the day are veteran Frank Catalanotto, a spring training invitee, and 20-year-old P Jenrry Mejia.
