At this stage of the season, with the way other teams are playing in the National League, any loss for the New York Mets feels big. But, an injury in the rotation could serve an even bigger blow. With Kodai Senga likely out for the rest of the regular season, their depth in that area is thin. Losing another arm could prove costly as the Mets look to remain in the race for a Wild Card spot down...
Good morning, Mets fans!

Good morning, Mets fans! Max Scherzer threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Friday and it went well enough that he is now expected to start for the Mets on Sunday against the Nationals. Scherzer has been dealing with neck spasms and they have evidently calmed down enough. With that, the probable starters for the Mets’ next few games are Joey Lucchesi later today, Scherzer tomorrow, then...

David Peterson beat out Tylor Megill for the final spot in the Mets opening five-man rotation, according to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman. Peterson was immaculate during spring training. He pitched 12 scoreless innings, struck out 13, and allowed just one hit on his way to earning the rotation spot that opened as a result of an injury to free-agent acquisition Jose Quintana. When...

On Thursday, Jose Butto made his first start since a spot opened up within the Mets rotation due to the injury to Jose Quintana. Simply put, it did not go well. On his first pitch, Jose Altuve took Butto deep to left field in what was a 3-run first inning for Team Venezuela. After Altuve took him deep, Ronald Acuña Jr. gave one a ride but it stayed in the park for Tim Locastro to track down....
With José Quintana down and likely to miss some time with a rib injury, it is likely that David Peterson or Tylor Megill will get the call to replace him in the Mets rotation to start the season. Peterson took a comebacker hit off the foot on Saturday, but avoided any major damage and is progressing toward a return to the mound soon. He spoke to the media on Tuesday about his recovery and the...
