Saw that Matz is out for the year for the Mets.... Out with a surgery on his ulnar nerve- similar to what deGrom had last year.... If Harvey and Thor don't pitch again this year- the 3 of them- which were supposed to be the backbone for the Mets rotation- would have had exactly 31 starts this year.

ESPN had an interesting point. Right now in the NL, deGrom leads the league in innings pitched with 165.1 innings. Considering his MLB high is 191 innings, you wonder if he may be a shutdown candidate in September. You wonder if he's wearing down some- after posting a 3.29 ERA thru July, in 4 August starts he's got a 4.62 ERA- with his last 2 starts both giving up 5 runs both starts. Mets have got to be super careful with him right now....
