DeGrom will not undergo an MRI on his back, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
DeGrom was experiencing soreness and stiffness Friday, but manager Terry Collins emphasized that the team was simply exercising caution in removing him from the game. The fact that he'll avoid an MRI is certainly a positive sign, though if the discomfort persists, the Mets could be forced to skip deGrom's next turn in the rotation Wednesday.
