ST. LOUIS — Mets ace Jacob deGrom is being put on the injured list and returning to New York for an MRI on his elbow after the NL Cy Young Award winner reported a sore right arm. “We’re not sure what it is.”The 30-year-old deGrom, who had been scheduled to pitch Saturday, is coming off two shaky starts. DeGrom will go on the injured list retroactive to Tuesday, the team said. Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said deGrom had been recently slowed by strep throat. Callaway did confirm that Noah Syndergaard will pitch as scheduled on Sunday with Steven Matz taking his regularly scheduled turn Monday against Philadelphia.
