The New York Mets are flying high at the top of the National League with a 13-5 record early on. Honestly, they haven't really missed Jacob deGrom quite yet, but it appears he's slowly working his way back to eventually returning to the fold.

Per Anthony DiComo, the Mets righty recently underwent an MRI on his scapula that showed significant healing:

Although he hasn't actually picked up a baseball yet, it's a definite step in the right direction. deGrom was absolutely magnificent last season, posting a 1.08 ERA in 15 games before going on the shelf in July due to elbow pain. Then come Spring Training, the Mets stud felt discomfort in his shoulder.

Nevertheless, New York's staff is actually thriving at the moment. Max Scherzer, Tyler Megill, Chris Bassitt, and Carlos Carrasco all have ERA's under three, with Mad Max leading the way with a stellar 3-0 record and 1.80 ERA. The staff has a 2.74 ERA as a group as well.

The Mets are raking at the plate too, ranking third in the MLB in batting average. Hopefully, deGrom can start a throwing program not too far from now and potentially return in the summer because how things are looking, NY is going to certainly be in the mix for the playoffs. That's unless they completely deteriorate. But with the talent on this roster, success should be a given.
