NEW YORK -- Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom?had a precautionary MRI on Friday, one day after experiencing forearm soreness during a third straight start in which he has struggled.The team said there is no structural damage to his throwing arm. He will take anti-inflammatory medication and resume throwing when the discomfort subsides.DeGrom is expected to miss Tuesdays start at Cincinnati.Honestly, I wasnt really that worried about it, deGrom said. It got a little stiff last night. I thought Id be all right. When we did a precautionary MRI, it showed a little inflammation. But I think that might be from having bad mechanics -- my arm is dragging, and it just caused it to flare up a little bit. Its nothing bad. Something flared up in there, and I think they want to be safe with it and not risk anything. Its comforting that we did get a look at it and theres nothing wrong.Asked if he is certain he will pitch again this season, deGrom replied: Im pretty certain Ill be back out there.Manager Terry Collins nevertheless said he was concerned.I actually called the trainer two times today trying to get a report when they were at the doctor, Collins said. Thats about as pins and needles as I can get. I needed to know, because I didnt like the sound of it last night. I didnt like what I heard. Were very lucky that its nothing more than what it is.During Thursdays start against the visiting?Miami Marlins, deGrom motioned for trainer Ray Ramirez as he departed the game and headed to the clubhouse.DeGrom acknowledged to media after the outing he did not feel great but insisted he was OK and seemed to spin the comment as though he were referring to his mechanics.DeGrom allowed three runs on six hits and a season-high-matching four walks in the five-inning, 102-pitch outing against Miami -- a 6-4 Mets loss.He had allowed 13 runs and 25 hits in 9 2/3 innings over his previous two outings. That had prompted Collins, suspecting fatigue, to skip deGroms turn Monday.Collins had initially planned to slot deGrom back into the rotation Friday against the Washington Nationals, but he was moved up a day to face the Marlins when Steven Matz had continued difficulty with a rotator-cuff impingement, and the Mets aborted having the southpaw return from the disabled list.DeGrom has allowed 40 baserunners and recorded 44 outs in his past three starts.Despite hanging in the National League wild-card race, the Mets have been decimated by injuries. Second baseman Neil Walker on Thursday became the latest Met to be lost for the season when he committed to having surgery to repair a herniated disk in his lower back that had deprived him of the feeling in a toe.In an unforeseen development, considering how pitching-blessed they were to open the season, the Mets already are using rookies Seth Lugo and Robert Gsellman in the rotation. Any absence for deGrom could prompt them also to consider Gabriel Ynoa, Rafael Montero or Logan Verrett.Montero had a spot start for deGrom on Monday against the Marlins and tossed five scoreless innings, although Montero also walked six batters and threw 100 pitches.The only healthy established starting pitchers available are Noah Syndergaard and Bartolo Colon. In addition to Matzs shoulder woes, Matt Harvey underwent season-ending surgery in July to address thoracic outlet syndrome. And Zack Wheeler is no longer expected back in 2016 after his latest setback in his rehab from Tommy John surgery. Wheeler was diagnosed two weeks ago with a flexor muscle strain. Even Syndergaard is pitching with a bone spur in his elbow, although the Mets have suggested it will not need to be surgically removed.Matz is due to resume throwing on Monday at the Mets complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida.Andre Tippett Jersey .

LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St.LOS ANGELES -- Yasmani Grandal couldnt hit during the offseason after left shoulder surgery. Spring training wasnt much better, ever mindful of others advice on overdoing it and stressing his joint.Grandal kept watching video of his swing, working with the hitting coaches to regain his lost touch.It paid off in spades when he homered three times, driving in six runs in the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-6 win over the San Diego Padres on Friday night that snapped a three-game skid.Today just seemed like it was my day, he said. Ive been hitting the ball, hard contact; its not showing numbers-wise. I kept doing what I was doing and tried to make adjustments here and there.Grandal became the third Dodgers catcher to hit three homers in a game, joining Mike Piazza (1996) and Roy Campanella (1950).This is something hell always remember, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.The teams combined for 28 hits and seven homers, including two by San Diegos Melvin Upton Jr. Justin Turner and Howie Kendrick added solo shots for Los Angeles.Grandal had a bunt single against the shift in the eighth, giving him a career-high five hits against this former team. He took a foul ball off his mask in the sixth. Grandal had hit .182 with two homers in 18 previous games against the Padres, who traded him to the Dodgers for outfielder Matt Kemp, who went 0 for 5.Both starters struggled mightily before leaving early. San Diegos Andrew Cashner gave up a career-high eight runs, while Los Angeles Scott Kazmir labored through a 31-pitch, 27-minute first inning in a game that lasted 3 hours, 45 minutes.Pedro Baez (2-2) got the win, allowing one hit in 2 2/3 innings of relief.Kazmir allowed three runs and six hits in a season-low three innings, struck out five and walked three.The first inning for me it was tough to get any type of rhythm, he said. I felt I was throwing the ball well, I just wasnt getting any outs.Cashner (3-7) lasted just 2 2/3 innings, giving up eight hits, including four homers, while striking out two and walking three. The Dodgers feasted on Cashners fastball, teeing off on it for their first eight runs.I didnt really command much of anything, Cashner said. Fastball was out of the zone, not even close, and when I did throw it for a strike it was down the middle.Upton led off the fourth with his 16th homer of the season on the first pitch from Louis Coleman, leaving San Diego trailing 8-4. Upton has seven homers in his last 12 games. Coleman gave up three runs and four hits in one-plus innings.The Dodgers extended their lead to 7-3 in the third. Grandal hit a three-run homer and Kendrick followed with a solo shot, making it the second time this week and this season that the team had back-to-back homers.The Padres cut their deficit to 4-3 in the second on Uptons two-run homer.Los Angelles took a 4-1 lead in the first, scoring all its runs with two outs.dddddddddddd Turner got things going with his solo homer. Adrian Gonzalez singled and scored -- going wide to avoid the tag with his left hand on the plate -- on Yasiel Puigs double. Grandal followed with his first home run of the game, driving in Puig.San Diego catcher Derek Norris left the game in the fourth with a right quad contusion, the result of a first-inning collision with Chase Utley. Alexei Ramirez grounded into a bases-loaded fielders choice to Utley at second and Norris ran into him, causing them both to fall down. Norris was out on runners interference.Theres only one way in the world that run was not going to score, for him to create contact and get that call on interference, Padres manager Andy Green said of Utley. Its very frustrating to have one of your players get hurt from somebody else creating the collision and having your guy get called out at the same time.STARTING IN CENTER FIELDFrom Oklahoma City to starting in center field for the Dodgers was Andrew Toles. The 24-year-old outfielder had his contract purchased Friday and he made his major league debut after being out of baseball last year because of personal issues.He doubled in the second for his first big-league hit.Toles started for the Triple-A team Thursday night against Omaha and then caught an early flight to the West Coast. He began the season with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga and moved on to Double-A Tulsa before joining OKC.He was on the radar because he can really hit, Roberts said.Regular center fielder Joc Pederson is on the DL and the team has a short bench, leading to Toles promotion.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: RHP Tyson Ross (shoulder inflammation) reported discomfort in his twisted left ankle after playing catch from 120 feet at flat ground. There are no scheduled plans for him to throw off a mound. ... 2B Cory Spangenberg (pulled hamstring) was shut down midway through base-running drills during a rehab session and will be re-evaluated by team doctors.Dodgers: LHP Clayton Kershaw is due to come off the DL after the All-Star break, but he will need additional time.
