Overview

  • Tuesday’s opener was postponed due to persistent rain and will be made up as a day-night doubleheader Wednesday at 1:10 p.m. and 7:10 p.m. at Citi Field.
  • The Mets will turn to veteran reliever-turned-starter Clay Holmes in the early game and rookie Blade Tidwell in the nightcap to plug holes in a rotation hit by three recent injuries.
  • Milwaukee will counter with Freddy Peralta in one game and promote Double-A call-up Jacob Misiorowski for the other matchup.
  • New York has dropped 13 of its last 16 contests, forcing heavy reliance on an overtaxed bullpen amid frequent schedule disruptions.
  • Injured starters Sean Manaea and Kodai Senga are scheduled for upcoming minor league rehab outings but remain unavailable for the Brewers series.
