Expect DeGrom to start against the Washington Nationals in March, according to MLB.com's Metscorer Annie DiComo.
It's been a frustrating year for deGrom, who is reportedly rehabbing from a stress reaction in his right scapula.
Despite deGrom's absence this year, the Mets hold a 62-37 three-game lead over the Atlanta Braves in the NL East.
The Mets will need to have the firepower needed to make a playoff run if they want deGrom to slowly return to his true form.
DeGrom had a record of 7-2 with a 1.08 ERA in 2021 before suffering an elbow injury.
After all, he's a two-time NL Cy Young Award winner. When he's fully healthy, deGrom could be the best pitcher in MLB.
