Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom was ill during his latest start Monday against the Phillies, manager Terry Collins said Wednesday. Collins added he didn't know deGrom was battling an illness until after he took the mound.
Collins said deGrom has since improved and is not in danger of missing his next start Saturday against the Red Sox.
The right-hander had one of the worst starts of his career Monday, allowing seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and three walks. He allowed three home runs.
