New York Mets’ sidelined righthander Jacob deGrom

Somewhat fuzzy is about the next steps in Jacob deGrom’s potential return to the pitching rotation of the New York Mets.

This past Sunday, the two-time Cy Young Award winner threw a side session and will make a minor league rehab start.

But still no up-to-date positive news when deGrom when hung around the Mets’ dugout during the game against the San Diego Padres at Citi Field. He appeared comfortable with his teammates after tossing a side session earlier.

But Mets’ manager Buck Showalter said prior to the game that he wouldn’t publicly detail where and when deGrom will pitch next.

A 34-year-old righthander consider among the best hurdlers in the majors has not pitched in the major leagues since July 7 of last year. He missed the second half of last season because of right forearm tightness and a sprained elbow.

And he has been sidelined since late in spring training by a stress reaction in his right scapula.

He has made three injury rehabilitations appearances in the minors. He threw 34 pitches over 1 and 2/3 innings on July 3, and 36 over three frames on July 8, both for Class A St. Lucie, then over four innings for triple A Syracuse on July 14.

Also, Mets’ healing righty reliever Trevor May threw 14 pitches Sunday during a one-inning appearance for double-A Binghamton, allowing one hit and striking out one. May has not pitched for the Mets since May 2 because of right triceps inflammation.

Showalter said May likely will pitch on back-to-back days in the minors before he is activated.
