He threw about 30 pitches in a bullpen session Friday, after which he felt good, he said. But while shagging fly balls during batting practice, deGrom went to toss a ball back in and felt pain in his arm, causing him to alert the team’s medical staff. DeGrom will need surgery to repair the problem. Speaking Saturday, he said he would have to consult with his agents on deciding whether to have the procedure soon or to wait until after the postseason.
