Mets ace Jacob deGrom will start game one of the team’s doubleheader against the Braves, the team announced Monday afternoon.

DeGrom exited his last start Wednesday night after three perfect innings, including eight strikeouts, with right shoulder soreness. This came after he left the previous start with flexor tendinitis.

The right-hander underwent an MRI on Thursday, which came back clean and showed everything looking normal. DeGrom proceeded to go through his regular in-between-start routine, and Mets manager Luis Rojas said they were going to take it day-to-day in regards to his next start.

While deGrom is set to make the start tonight, it’s currently unclear if he’ll be under any pitch or innings limit. Since it’s a doubleheader, the game will only be seven innings, which could work in the Mets’ favor should deGrom be limited in any way that would force Rojas to go to the bullpen early on.

Additionally, it’ll be interesting to see whether deGrom will swing the bat when he’s up at the plate. Rojas previously said the team might tell him to not swing, as it’s possible the injury may have come from hitting.

DeGrom will kick off the Mets’ four-game series at 5:10 p.m. against their division rival. He’ll, of course, carry his historic 0.54 ERA into what will be his 12th start of the season.
