DeGrom out another two weeks

New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom won’t pick up a baseball for at least another two weeks as the team continues to monitor inflammation in his throwing elbow, manager Luis Rojas said Friday.

DeGrom, 33, flew to Los Angeles earlier in the week to have an MRI read by doctors. It showed some progress in his recovery but not enough to start pitching again.

“It’s slightly improving, but it’s going to be two more weeks, no throwing,” Rojas said. “Then we’ll see further imaging after two weeks.”

The Mets also placed newly acquired infielder Javier Baez on the 10-day injured list with back spasms.

Báez was injured in the fifth inning of Sunday’s game in Philadelphia when the Mets said he had left hip soreness.

Dodgers

Mookie Betts received an injection that helped alleviate the pain in his right hip, but he is not currently partaking in physical activity. Betts has a bone spur in that hip, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed Friday. But the Dodgers hope to put off any surgical procedure — if one is required — until the offseason.

Giants

San Francisco and shortstop Brandon Crawford agreed to a two-year, $32 million contract extension. The extension, which has a base salary of $16 million for each season, runs through the 2023 season.

White Sox

Starter Carlos Rodon will continue on a prescribed schedule of rest after tests on his left shoulder did not reveal a significant injury. Rodon, 28, was placed on the 10day injured list earlier this week with left shoulder fatigue.
