Good morning, Mets fans!

The Mets suffered their 10th weather-related postponement Tuesday night as their game with the Brewers was cancelled due to rain. It will be made up Wednesday in a split doubleheader, with the two games starting at 2:10 p.m. and 7:10 p.m.

They called the game over two and a half hours after first pitch was scheduled. The rain looked like it was going to clear up after 9 p.m., but pockets of heavy rain kept coming and they decided to call it. Even owner Steve Cohen was optimistic throughout the night on Twitter until there was no chance the game was going to be played.

Jacob deGrom will start Game 1 opposing Corbin Burnes, who may be the second-best pitcher in baseball this season. Robert Stock will start Game 2 likely against Brett Anderson.

Now let’s get into the morning briefing.

Latest Mets News

The Carlos Carrasco news continues to trend in the right direction as the Mets look to get an important piece of their rotation healthy.

Carrasco got through a 20-pitch live batting practice against Met hitters, including Kevin Pillar and Brandon McKinney, on Tuesday without any issues. He’ll likely return to the rotation by the end of July as long as he gets through a couple more live BPs and a rehab assignment without any setbacks.

He’ll join the best pitching staff in baseball when he does, nearly seven months after the team traded for him along with Francisco Lindor.

The team put Corey Oswalt on the injured list Tuesday and called up Robert Stock, who will start Game 2 of Wednesday’s doubleheader.

They sent back reliever Trevor Richards as the Blue Jays are still on the hunt for pitching help. A trade for Tellez makes sense as Keston Huria was struggling mightily at the plate while trying to adjust to the first base position.

Matt Olson announced he’s going to participate in the Home Run Derby, growing the list to six. Pete Alonso, Shohei Ohtani, Salvador Perez, Trevor Story and Trey Mancini are the other five so far.
