Before the Mets faced the Pirates on Sunday, manager Buck Showalter acknowledged the two off days this week would allow him to adjust his rotation if needed.
PITTSBURGH — The Mets won’t need a fifth starter in the next week, leaving team officials to consider squeezing out Tylor Megill, at least for the short term.
Before the Mets faced the Pirates on Sunday, manager Buck Showalter acknowledged the two off days this week would allow him to adjust his rotation if needed and potentially add a reliever. Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander are scheduled to start in the Subway Series games Tuesday and Wednesday, and with an off day following, Showalter has the option of skipping the struggling Megill and then aligning Kodai Senga, Carlos Carrasco, Scherzer and Verlander.“There’s some ways we can wiggle there if we need to, especially in the bullpen if we wanted to add an arm,” Showalter said.Mets starter Tylor Megill pitches against the Pirates on June 9, 2023.
The Mets would also have the option of keeping Megill in the bullpen and reinserting him into the rotation if he’s skipped.
