Mets' David Peterson to Miss Start of Season Following Hip Surgery

David Peterson is on the road to recovery after undergoing hip surgery, with a potential return to the Mets' lineup by midseason.

David Peterson underwent hip surgery in November due to a torn labrum, sidelining him until at least May.
The Mets left-hander experienced a challenging season last year, posting a 5.03 ERA across 27 appearances.
Peterson has begun rehabilitation, focusing on playing catch and working out, but has not yet resumed mound work.
The Mets have added depth to their pitching rotation with the signing of reliever Shintaro Fujinami, who is currently awaiting a visa.
Fujinami and Kodai Senga, former teammates on Japan's WBC team, look forward to contributing to the Mets together.
