METS SHORT HOPS
- DeGrom is due to throw a bullpen session on Friday in Port St. Lucie, Florida. He then will rejoin the Mets on Saturday, in advance of his start in Sunday’s series finale. DeGrom’s lone start so far this season came in the home opener on April 8. He missed a rotation turn after that due to a right-lat issue. His newborn son then had a medical issue, which has kept deGrom away from the team since early last week.Logan Verrett, who logged 12 scoreless innings over two starts while filling in for deGrom, should be ready to resume pitching out of the bullpen beginning Saturday. Verrett tossed 91 pitches on Tuesday in Philadelphia.
- Harvey has lost a career-high four straight decisions dating to last season.
- Switching-hitting Neil Walker already has three homers in 11 at-bats against left-handed pitching this season. He had the same number of long balls against southpaws over the previous five seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
