New York Mets‘ left-handed prospect David Peterson will make his major league debut on Tuesday night against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. After Marcus Stroman’s calf injury left a hole in the rotation, it was evident that the team needed an extra arm, and after Corey Oswalt pitched four innings over the weekend, the team opted to call up the talented southpaw from their taxi squad.
Peterson is the Mets’ 10th-ranked prospect and will debut against the club that originally drafted him in the 28th round of the 2014 Draft. That year, he chose to honor his commitment to the University of Oregon.
