DeGrom struggled in Thursday's outing and was examined by the Mets' trainer, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports. However, deGrom claims that he's not injured. "Everything's fine," he said after Thursday's game. "I was frustrated with how I pitched. I didn't feel great out there tonight. I just wanted to talk to Ray [Ramirez]. I'm fine."
DeGrom labored through five innings (102 pitches) Thursday, walking four batters and giving up six hits en route to allowing three earned runs to notch his eighth loss of the season. The righty contends that he's healthy and simply needs to make some mechanical adjustments. Provided that's indeed the case, deGrom will next start Tuesday in Cincinnati.
