Mets Pitcher David Peterson to Miss Start of 2024 Season Following Hip Surgery

Torn labrum in left hip requires 6-7 month recovery period; Mets' pitching staff down to only two confirmed starters for 2024.

David Peterson, left-handed pitcher for the New York Mets, will be out for 6-7 months after undergoing hip surgery, potentially returning in June 2024.
Peterson underwent surgery to correct a torn labrum in his left hip, the recovery time for which the Mets announced could stretch into May or June next year.
The Mets' pitcher's absence leaves the team with only two confirmed starters for 2024—Kodai Senga and José Quintana.
In the 2023 season, Peterson produced a 3.65 ERA in the second half and was expected to compete for a rotation spot next spring.
Amidst an inconsistent career, Peterson’s performance last season was notably poor with a 5.03 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 27 games.
