The St. Louis River Walkers have learned that right-handed starting pitcher Jacob deGrom has suffered a setback in his return from a torn rotator cuff.
The injury is likely to keep the 2018 Cy Young winner out for 15 months, and with his contract expiring at the end of the 2020 season, it probably means he is done pitching as a member of the River Walkers.
On one hand, it makes the trade earlier this offseason for left-handed starter Danny Duffy to be a smart one.
But on the other side, maybe the Walkers should have gone after a better pitcher.
