Prior to tonight’s game against the Diamondbacks, the Mets have optioned David Peterson to Triple-A. In a corresponding move, the club recalled reliever Adonis Media from Syracuse.
Peterson has been filling in for an injured Taijuan Walker, and has done so quite admirably. He is coming off his best start of the season last night, limiting Arizona to one earned run on three hits over 5.2 innings. In three appearances this year, including two starts, Peterson has posted a 0.64 ERA, a 2.68 FIP, a 1.00 WHIP, and 10 strikeouts in 14 innings.
