The New York Mets‘ rotation is currently decimated after right-hander Marcus Stroman decided to opt out of the season even before making a start. Remember he is currently nursing a left calf tear and was about to return when he decided, together with his family, that the best course of action for him was to avoid any potential contact with COVID-19.
Jacob deGrom remains the Mets’ ace, and Rick Porcello is turning his season around after a disastrous start. Rookie David Peterson has been OK in his three turns, but Michael Wacha is also on the shelf with right shoulder inflammation.
