Mets ace Jacob deGrom won't pick up a baseball for at least another two weeks as the team continues to monitor inflammation in his throwing elbow, manager Luis Rojas said Friday.

DeGrom, 33, flew to Los Angeles earlier in the week to have an MRI read by doctors. It showed some progress in his recovery but not enough to start pitching again.

"It's slightly improving, but it's going to be two more weeks, no throwing," Rojas said in a Zoom session with reporters. "Then we'll see further imaging after two weeks."
