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.

EUGENE, Ore. -- For the first third of Oregons season, coach Dana Altman has waited for a sense of urgency for an entire game.Then his Ducks found it just in time, with a little luck on their side.Tyler Dorsey scored 19 points and Dylan Ennis hit the tiebreaking 3-pointer as the shot clock expired to help No. 24 Oregon beat Alabama 63-56 on Sunday night.Were stuck in the mud a little bit and there are a lot of things we have to work on, Altman said. We found a way to win. I dont sense that urgency that the coaching staff has amongst the team, so weve got to do a better job.Dillon Brooks and Chris Boucher added 10 points each for the Ducks (8-2). They won their sixth consecutive game and 31st in a row at home.Ennis shot started a 9-0 run for the Ducks to finish the game after Donta Halls fifth dunk tied it for Alabama at 56-all with 3:16 left to play. Hall led the Crimson Tide (4-4) with 14 points.Brooks found Ennis open on the right wing after getting caught in the air on a baseline drive. Ennis and Brooks each had six of Oregons 18 assists.That 3 was lucky, Altman said. It was penetration-kick and Dylan hit a really tough shot there.The Ducks had assists on all 10 of their first-half field goals and led 31-23 despite not scoring for the last 5 minutes before the break.Alabama came back after being down 11 early in the second half with its strong inside game. The Crimson Tide outscored the Ducks 42-24 in the paint and finished with a 21-6 edge in second-chance points.They got pretty much anything they wanted that second half, Altman said. Those offensive-rebound putbacks really got them back in the game and allowed them to stay right there.Oregon scored 21 points off Alabamas season-high 18 turnovers. The Crimson Tide had a 33-27 edge in rebounds, with Hall and Riley Norris each grabbing seven.Alabama had eight of its 11 offensive rebounds in the second half, though it was Oregon that grabbed the key defensive boards in the final 2 minutesWe made simple plays at the end and closed the show, Dorsey said, but we should have boxed out more.ddddddddddddBIG PICTUREAlabamas longest trip in three years nearly resulted in its first road win over a ranked team since 2004. The Crimson Tide, who finished 10th in the Southeastern Conference in coach Avery Johnsons first season, have four games to gear up for the start of SEC play on Jan. 7 against Vanderbilt.Oregon, which has slipped 20 spots since its poll high of No. 4, will try to keep its focus on its final three nonconference games with a Pac-12 opener against No. 2 UCLA looming on Dec. 28 in Eugene.POLL IMPLICATIONSA sixth-straight victory should stop No. 24 Oregons slide in the rankings after the Ducks dropped another spot last week.

He was particularly active on defense with four steals.STAT OF THE NIGHTAlabama was just 2 of 19 (10.5 percent) from 3-point range after coming in shooting 36.4 percent and hitting 8.6 per game. Were a much better 3-point-shooting team than that and were a much better decision-making team than that, said second-year coach Avery Johnson, who has seven newcomers among his 11-man rotation.UP NEXTAlabama plays its first home game of the month when it hosts South Carolina Upstate on Thursday night.Oregon goes for its 100th victory in 6-year-old Matthew Knight Arena when it hosts Montana on Tuesday night to cap a five-game homestand.
