The Mets have announced the expected pitchers for their first two Grapefruit League games, with the schedule kicking off on Thursday in Viera against the Nationals.
Rafael Montero, Gabriel Ynoa, and Jeff Walters are scheduled to pitch on Thursday, while Logan Verrett, Buddy Carlyle, and Zack Thornton are set to go on Friday during the Mets’ home opener against the Marlins.
Noticeably absent from the list are Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz, and Bartolo Colon, whose ease into Spring Training games has been laid out for quite some time.
