Mets Scratch Jacob deGrom, Reinstate Robinson Cano

By Jeff Todd | August 14, 2020 at 2:15pm CDT

2:57pm: The Mets have also activated Robinson Cano, who’ll step into the lineup at second base. He had been on the injured list with a left adductor strain.

2:15pm: The Mets have scratched ace righty Jacob deGrom from his scheduled start this evening, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports on Twitter. Michael Mayer of Metsmerizedonline.com first tweeted about the possibility.

Full details of the situation have not yet been fully reported. But it seems a stiff neck is to blame for the absence, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network (Twitter link).

Thankfully, it doesn’t sound as if this is expected to be a particularly serious problem. deGrom says an examination revealed no structural concerns; he was able to throw off the mound yesterday and is hoping for a fairly quick turnaround. (Via Sherman; Twitter links).

          Phillies are one of the worst teams in the league right now, simply because of the bullpen. But anything can happen.

      Him meeting with the media actually worried me a little. Hopefully If it’s not a blister it’s opting out bc I don’t want to see him have a huge injury.

      Whether the Mets are terrible or not they intend to compete. The Braves were never going to land him. I’m only bothering with this because you have mentioned this idea in the past.

        No worries.

        Even if he was available, the Braves would rather keep their farm rankings in the top 10 than win a WS.

          The Braves are building their team the proper way. But hey, you think Acuna is overrated so maybe baseball just isn’t your thing.

        • MetsFan22

          2 years ago

          The Braves don’t have the pitching to win the big one. As a Mets fan we don’t either (RN) but I’m not talking about the Mets. He is kind of right. You guys would rather keep the top 10 farm than get a elite pitcher. But I don’t think you could get Degrom.. pache and Walters aren’t going to be anything special and we would require someone that has the ability to become special. Plus more.. anyway the Mets aren’t even going to rebuild so this shouldn’t even be a conversation…

        • AcunaSTILLOVERRATED

          2 years ago

          The irony is very funny.

          This team just went through a pitching centered rebuild and are currently suffering from lack of pitching. They defin know what they are doing.

        • MetsFan22

          2 years ago

          That bc Degrom Wacha stroman and Thor are currently hurt. I thought that was common sense. I guess not….

          The Braves as an organization are in much better shape than the Mets.

        • Cey Hey

          How many times have you seen Pache and Waters (not Walters) play? The trade value of deGrom dropped considerably after he signed the extension. The Mets should have kickstarted a rebuild by trading him at the July 2018 deadline. They then should have traded Syndergaard and Wheeler that winter. The three of them would have fetched a boatload of young talent. Instead, they decided to “go for it by trading top prospects for Cano and Diaz, and later, for Stroman. Two disasters. Not only do they still not have the horses to contend, but their organizational depth stinks. Meanwhile, Wheeler left via free agency, Syndergaard is hurt and will soon follow him out the door. and 32-year-old deGrom wastes away on a non-contender. Three coveted arms and nothing to show for it. Nice plan.

        • MetsFan22

          2 years ago

          They are. But both teams have about the same amount of talent.

          Jesus you aren’t bright. The Mets are terrible. Just face the facts. No amount of wishful thinking is going to change that. Facts are facts. Comparing the Yankees and Mets is just ridiculous at this point. Get over it. The Mets aren’t good…again.

    I know the stresses of pitching, the physical friction and torque put on a finger’s skin is immense; I know that blisters are inevitable for most guys over the course of a season… but like, Stevie Ray Vaughn famously glued his callouses back on to his finger tips in order to keep playing guitar! He did it for the love of the game and wasn’t being paid as well as an MLB player.

    You’d think trainers had some way of popping blisters and putting some non-toxic Second Skin style sprayable band aid to get through the issue. I doubt it would be harmful to the player; you’d think getting more innings in would motivate the player from a competition and career standpoint.

    And to be clear, I’m a pro-player anti-owner type of guy who wants humane treatment of everybody. I’m just saying, in the case of a blister on a 21st Century athlete who is part of a billion dollar organization, why can’t we overcome a FRIGGIN BLISTER?!?

      How does a “sprayable band-aid” help in a situation where the blistered finger must firmly grip a baseball? Unlike SRV, a pitcher can’t just pump up the volume to cover up his mistakes.

      Reply
      • WARrior

        2 years ago

        The use of SRV as an example is apt and analogous; he was one of the best of all time and played at an incredibly high level of precision of talent (regardless of volume). Similarly pitchers have to perform with their fingers in high stakes situations. I dunno… I feel like Max Scherzer would glue his blistered skin back on his hand and pitch just fine.

        I am totally against players playing through dangerous situations like concussions etc (hello nfl). But a surface level skin issue seems like it can be overcome.

      I’d imagine MLB teams would prefer to protect their million dollar investments rather than send them out there sub optimally and also a pitcher with pain is probably less likely to succeed in a start

    If Gsellman can give them 2 IP today, and 3 on Monday, they should use him. That way, if Jake is ready Monday, he slots back in then.

    Eight NL teams with a .440 or better winning percentage probably make the post season, assuming we get that far. Mets need to go about 18 and 22 the rest of the way to get to that 27 win mark. (Currently 9-11). There are other teams in much worse shape than the Mets, even with losing 4/5 of their starting rotation! I don’t think ANY team could withstand that, but there they are, just under .500 at the 1/3 mark.
