The Athletic has an article about DeGrom's recovery. The last two paragraph's mirror my concern in the above post:

One thing the Mets are contemplating is whether deGrom can and should take a step back with his velocity. DeGrom, of course, [URL='https://theathletic.com/2556671/2021/05/05/how-is-the-mets-jacob-degrom-throwing-this-hard-and-still-getting-better-ive-never-seen-anything-like-it/']was throwing as hard as any starting pitcher in history earlier this season[/URL]. And while the pitcher has attributed his earlier minor injuries to overzealous swings while batting, this latest and longest physical malady relates to pitching.

DeGrom had his best season in 2018 averaging just over 96 on his fastball. He was averaging nearly 3 mph more this year, and some with the team wonder whether he’d be better served averaging less on his fastball while still retaining the triple-digit max speed he’s flashed the last two seasons."
