What a relief for the Mets, especially in the midst of an unhealthy period when it comes to the team’s pitching staff.
According to manager Luis Rojas, right-hander Marcus Stroman “expects to make his next start.” Stroman exited Tuesday’s start against the Braves due to left hip soreness. He ultimately pitched just one full inning and walked two batters in what was an eventual 3-0 loss for New York.
*It's actually possible that Stroman could come back to pitch Sunday against the Phillies, Rojas clarifies. The Mets had tentatively lined up Jerad Eickhoff for that spot, but it could be Stroman instead.
