Overview
- New York announced Tobias Myers will start the series finale in Chicago instead of the originally scheduled David Peterson.
- The announcement cited no injury, with reporting pointing to a strategic look that could use Myers as an opener.
- The Mets enter the game on a 10-game losing streak that has increased pressure to adjust the rotation.
- David Peterson has a 6.41 ERA in four starts, including three straight outings allowing at least four runs and a four-run start against the Dodgers on April 13.
- Myers, acquired from Milwaukee with Freddy Peralta, has made six relief outings for New York this season with five runs in 13 innings and most recently worked two frames in Los Angeles; he also has starting experience, including six starts for the Brewers last season and a 3.00 ERA over 25 starts in 2024.
