Jacob deGrom was removed from Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks with right side tightness, the team announced.
The New York Mets right-hander will have an MRI, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post.
DeGrom called catcher James McCann to the mound after he appeared to hurt himself while throwing warmup pitches before the sixth inning.
