Overview

• New York is proceeding with Nolan McLean, Jonah Tong and Brandon Sproat as rotation fixtures for the rest of the month after each impressed in early outings.
• McLean logged eight scoreless innings against the Phillies, Tong held the Marlins to one run over five, and Sproat carried a no-hitter into the sixth in his debut before finishing six innings.
• Injuries and uneven results from veterans set the stage, including Kodai Senga’s demotion to Triple-A, Sean Manaea’s struggles and Tylor Megill’s elbow-related IL stint.
• President David Stearns and manager Carlos Mendoza say they will use the best available arms as the club navigates a tight wild-card race.
• To support Sproat’s arrival, the Mets activated Reed Garrett, optioned Wander Suero and Kevin Herget to Triple-A, and designated Justin Garza for assignment.
