Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom is expected to throw for the first time Saturday, ESPN.com reports, and manager Terry Collins thinks he might miss just the minimum amount of time.
"Is he going to come off on time?" Collins said. "History would say, yeah, probably due to the issue he had. But he may not."
Though deGrom was shut down last weekend due to rotator cuff tendinitis, this injury is clearly not considered serious at this point. He could make his return to the rotation Saturday against the Dodgers.
