While he was placed on the 10-Day IL, his MRI proved “clean of any issues.” Meanwhile, the Mets are still in first place, as the Marlins lost last night and the rest of the division was off. An MRI found no structural damage in Jacob deGrom’s right side, so while he was placed on the Injured List, he will be eligible to return as soon as May 21.
