New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom made his second rehab start for Class A St.
The right-handed pitcher threw 29 of 36 pitches for strikes as he continues to make progress from a stress reaction in his right shoulder that has kept him out of the game all season.
DeGrom told reporters that he felt good after his outing against the Reds in Daytona. I was happy to get out there and complete the three-innings game.
DeGrom struck out five of the six batters he faced and threw 18 of 24 pitches for strikes in his first rehabilitation start.
DeGrom told reporters that he has been following the process and trying not to do too much. Everything is going well. After pitching my first game in a couple months last Sunday, I was able to go out and throw three frames tonight. I want to be back in the big leagues before too long.
DeGrom's pitch was at 101 mph on Friday night.
The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner hasn't pitched in the majors in over a year. He will need several minor league rehabilitation outings before he can rejoin the Mets.
