MLB DEGROM’S MRI CLEAN >>

The New York Mets relaxed after a night of worry: a scan of ace Jacob deGrom’s shoulder showed no abnormalities.

DeGrom left his second straight start with an arm injury, coming out after three perfect innings against the Cubs on June 16 with right shoulder soreness. He had an MRI on June 17 at the Hospital for Special Surgery that was reviewed by Mets medical director David Altchek and Dodgers head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache.

“We had an MRI taken on him and ran it through two doctors just to have a second opinion, as well, and both doctors had the same prognosis from the imaging. So it just shows as a normal shoulder that a pitcher would have and there’s no concern,” Mets manager Luis Rojas said..
