Jacob deGrom, who made his 2022 debut just over three weeks ago, has now appeared in five games since a stress reaction in his throwing arm.
The slow and careful approach is understandable when it comes to deGrom, who has been eased back into his usual work load out of an abundance of caution. After all, deGrom experienced a minor setback in July when he felt mild muscle soreness around his shoulder. His last outing came last Thursday against the Braves, so deGrom pitched on two extra days of rest against Colorado.
“I didn’t want him to go out there and throw five or six pitches or seven or whatever,” Showalter said before declining to get into specifics about what went into the decision to take deGrom out when he did Thursday night. “I thought he was getting there in the [sixth] inning, for one thing. Obviously, we get input from him. We know when his next start is, hopefully. So all those factors figure into it.
DeGrom said he thought he would be allowed to go as long as necessary and to 100-plus pitches in his next outing. The last time deGrom reached 100 pitches was when he clocked in at 109 on April 23, 2021, which was also the only game he threw over 100 balls last year.
