Mets' Tobias Myers: Will be utilized as opener Sunday
Rotowire
Myers will be deployed as an opener in front of bulk reliever David Peterson in Sunday's game against the Cubs, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
Though he made 31 starts for the Brewers over the past two seasons and has two three-inning relief appearances under his belt with the Mets this year, Myers doesn't look like he'll be asked to provide much length while he makes his first start of 2026. Over 13 innings in six appearances so far for his new team, he's posted a 3.46 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB.

Mets' David Peterson: Set for bulk role Sunday
Rotowire
Peterson will pitch in bulk relief behind opener Tobias Myers in Sunday's game against the Cubs, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
Myers made 31 starts for the Brewers over the past two seasons but he's maxed out at three innings and 39 pitches over his six relief appearances for the Mets in 2026. While the right-hander might provide more length than a typical opener, Peterson still appears to be in line to handle the larger share of the workload Sunday. Since tossing 5.1 shutout innings in his first start of the season March 28, Peterson has taken losses in each of his last three outings while posting a 8.79 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 18:8 K:BB across 14.1 innings.

Mets' David Peterson: Could still pitch Sunday
Rotowire
Peterson will no longer start Sunday against the Cubs but could still pitch out of the bullpen, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
Peterson was originally scheduled to start Sunday, but Tobias Myers will instead get the nod. However, Mastracco implies that Peterson could still work in long relief to keep the Mets' rotation on schedule. Peterson has allowed 14 earned runs across his last 14.1 innings, spanning three starts, so the team could be seeking to get him back on track by slightly shifting his role.

Mets' Tobias Myers: Drawing start Sunday
Rotowire
Myers will start Sunday's game against the Cubs, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
David Peterson was originally set to start, but he's struggled mightily across his last three outings and will be pushed back in the Mets' pitching schedule. Meanwhile, Myers has made six appearances in relief this season, but Sunday will mark his first start. While Myers has worked as a starter for long stretches of his big-league career, he hasn't covered more than three innings or 39 pitches in an outing this season, so it's unclear how deep he may be able to pitch in Sunday's game.

Mets' Christian Scott: Knocking on door for promotion
Rotowire
Scott has posted a 1.74 ERA, 0.58 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB in 10.1 innings over his last two starts for Triple-A Syracuse.
In his most recent outing Wednesday, the 26-year-old right-hander fired 50 of 82 pitches for strikes but lost a showdown with top Yankees prospect Elmer Rodriguez. Scott got tagged for six runs in 3.1 innings in his season debut after sitting out all of 2025 while recovering from elbow surgery, but his quick turnaround coincides with the struggles of David Peterson and Kodai Senga in the Mets' big-league rotation. If New York elects to shake things up after a 7-13 start to the campaign, Scott is a likely candidate to get a promotion.

Mets' David Peterson: Unscored upon in bulk relief
Rotowire
Peterson did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Cubs, allowing three hits and no walks with one strikeout over 3.2 scoreless innings.
Peterson made his first relief appearance of the season and kept the Cubs in check despite throwing just 26 of 47 pitches for strikes. It was his first encouraging effort since a scoreless season debut, as he entered Sunday having allowed 14 earned runs over his previous three outings. On the year, the southpaw now owns a 5.40 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB across 23.1 innings. If he slides back into the rotation, he'd line up for a favorable home matchup against the Rockies next weekend.

Mets' David Peterson: Continues to struggle
Rotowire
Peterson (0-3) took the loss against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven batters over five innings.
Though his stat line was far from pretty, things could have been much worse for Peterson -- he opened the game by allowing four straight batters to reach base and was down 1-0 with the bases loaded and no outs. The lefty managed to escape the jam by striking out the final three batters he faced in the frame, but he couldn't pull off another magic act in the third, when he served up a three-run homer to Andy Pages. Peterson promisingly fanned a season-high seven batters, but he also issued a season-high four walks and threw only 55 of 89 pitches for strikes. He's now 0-3 on the campaign and holds an unattractive 6.41 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB over 19.2 innings spanning four starts.

Mets' David Peterson: Allows five runs in loss
Rotowire
Peterson (0-2) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Diamondbacks after allowing five runs on six hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out six.
Peterson opened the season with 5.1 scoreless innings against the Pirates on March 28, but the wheels have fallen off completely in the last two starts. He's given up 11 runs (10 earned) on 15 hits and four walks while striking out 11 across 9.1 innings. It's too early to say if his spot in the rotation is at risk, but the left-hander naturally can't afford many more stumbles. Peterson's next start won't be any easier, as he's tentatively lined up to face the Dodgers on the road next week.

Mets' David Peterson: Struggles in defeat
Rotowire
Peterson (0-1) took the loss against San Francisco on Thursday, allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 4.1 innings.
The Mets gave Peterson a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but he quickly gave that back plus more, as the Giants responded with three runs in the bottom half of the frame. Things didn't get any better for Peterson from there -- he yielded two more runs in the third and was charged with one more following his departure in the fifth. Peterson did manage to fan five batters, but his overall line was pretty destructive for fantasy managers who deployed him. This was certainly a letdown for Peterson after he shut out Pittsburgh across 5.1 innings during his season debut March 28.

Mets' David Peterson: Solid effort in no-decision
Rotowire
Peterson did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-2 extra-innings win over the Pirates, allowing six hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 5.1 scoreless innings.
Peterson threw 51 of 76 pitches for strikes while generating eight whiffs, exiting two outs shy of a quality start. The southpaw earned an All-Star nod in 2025 before stumbling to a 6.34 ERA over 59.2 innings in the second half. He's coming off a career-high 168.2 innings overall and should benefit from backing by a strong Mets offense. The 30-year-old lines up for a road start against the Giants next week.

Mets' David Peterson: Sharp in final exhibition outing
Rotowire
Peterson gave up one run on five hits and a walk over five innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins. He struck out four.
The left-hander tossed 50 of 76 pitches for strikes in his final spring start. Peterson wraps up camp with a 4.15 ERA and 9:3 K:BB over 13 innings, and after working a career-high 168.2 innings in 2025, he's in line to start the second game of the season for the Mets, March 28 at home against the Pirates.

Mets' David Peterson: Three clean frames Wednesday
Rotowire
Peterson gave up one hit and two walks over three scoreless innings during Wednesday's exhibition game against Team Israel. He struck out four.
The Israeli WBC lineup doesn't have any big MLB names in it, and Peterson had little trouble navigating his three frames on 48 pitches (28 strikes). The southpaw is locked into a rotation spot for the Mets after throwing a career-high 168.2 innings in 2025, but his 4.22 ERA and 1.37 WHIP were significant downgrades from his 2024 numbers.
