New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom left Sunday’s start versus the Arizona Diamondbacks in the sixth inning with an injury described by the team as “right side tightness.”  The Mets said their ace left the game for “precautionary reasons.”

deGrom has been plagued with injuries so far this season, also missing play time with right side tightness earlier this month. It’s unclear if Sunday’s issue is related to that injury.

deGrom is a two-time Cy Young winner and three-time All-Star who led MLB with a 1.70 ERA during the 2018 campaign. He made 12 starts during the shortened 2020 campaign and finished with a 2.38 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 104 strikeouts in 68 innings. In 2021, deGrom led MLB with 0.51 ERA, 0.57 WHIP and 59 strikeouts in 35 innings entering Sunday’s start.
