Mets Finalize 2025 Starting Rotation Amid Key Injuries

Clay Holmes, a former reliever, has been named the Mets' Opening Day starter, marking his first start since 2018.
Tylor Megill secured the second spot in the rotation after refining his pitching arsenal and delivering a strong spring performance.
Griffin Canning and David Peterson round out the middle of the rotation, with Kodai Senga set to start the fifth game on a limited pitch count as he returns from injuries.
Paul Blackburn, initially considered for the rotation, will begin the season in the bullpen but is likely to serve as a sixth starter during a stretch of consecutive games in April.
Sean Manaea has resumed throwing but remains in early recovery, while Frankie Montas is shut down until at least mid-May due to injuries.
