Mets' Logan Verrett to make another start against Phillies

Mets pitcher Logan Verrett will make another start Thursday against the Phillies, Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal reports.

Verrett will remain a member of the rotation for the season's final week as the Mets transition Jon Niese to a bullpen role. Though he was tagged for four runs in five innings in his outing last week, Verrett remains an intriguing spot-start option in daily and season-long formats due to the matchup with the Phillies, who have provided little offensive production in the second half.
