Mets Name Clay Holmes Saturday Starter as Pitching Plan Goes Day-to-Day

Mendoza is managing one game at a time to safeguard the Mets’ grip on a Wild Card berth.

Overview

  • Clay Holmes was announced as Saturday’s starter in Miami after throwing 14 pitches in a one-inning relief outing earlier this week.
  • The team has not named a Sunday starter, and David Peterson is available out of the bullpen starting Saturday.
  • Sean Manaea and Holmes have recently worked in tandem and volunteered for bulk relief to stretch the staff.
  • New York shuffled its roster by designating Richard Lovelady for assignment, recalling Kevin Herget, and outrighting Chris Devenski to Triple-A.
  • Pitching depth remains thin as Reed Garrett was advised to undergo Tommy John surgery while Brooks Raley has delivered steady, effective relief.
