Overview

  • Manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed Clay Holmes will start Saturday against the Marlins in Miami with usage determined on the fly.
  • The team has not set a Game 162 starter as Mendoza said decisions will be made one day at a time.
  • David Peterson will be available out of the bullpen after a 41-pitch outing in his last start.
  • Sean Manaea and Holmes volunteered for bullpen work this week after recent tandem appearances, reflecting flexible roles for veteran starters.
  • The Mets refreshed their relief options by designating Richard Lovelady for assignment, calling up Kevin Herget, and outrighting Chris Devenski, while Reed Garrett was advised to have Tommy John surgery and Kodai Senga appears unlikely to return.
