The health of DeGrom's (back) son, Jaxon, has improved slightly, and the right-hander is slated to throw a 40-pitch bullpen session Sunday, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.
DeGrom, already sidelined with a lat issue, was placed on the family medical emergency list Saturday due to complications related to Jaxon's birth. It's great news to hear that his son is doing better, but there is no time frame for deGrom to return. DeGrom will miss Tuesday's start against the Phillies and could miss one more, though it's believed that his lat issue has mostly cleared up.
