ā€œEverything looked good,ā€ Mets manager Luis Rojas said before his team's game in Miami. ā€œWeā€™re still going to monitor the rest of today and tomorrow, but he is on track.ā€

DeGrom struck out eight and walked none Thursday in three hitless innings during an injury rehabilitation outing for the St. Lucie Mets.

The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner is 3-2 and has an MLB-leading 0.68 ERA in six starts this year, with 65 strikeouts and seven walks in 40 innings.
