MIAMI — It’s official. Jacob deGrom is going to pitch in a major league game.
“He’s going to pitch Tuesday,” Buck Showalter set in stone. “His work day went well. He had a light side. He’s finishing up his work, but the plan is for him to pitch Tuesday in Washington.”
“I’m definitely excited,” deGrom said in the bowels of loanDepot Park on Sunday afternoon. “It’s been a long time. This has been a pretty slow process of coming back. The nerves haven’t really set in yet, but I’m sure Tuesday I’ll be pretty nervous. It’ll feel like my debut.”
