David Peterson - To make spot start Monday Peterson will make a spot start for the Mets on Monday versus the Nationals, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact This will allow an extra day of rest for Justin Verlander, who is now instead on tap for Tuesday's series opener against the Rays. Peterson struggled in an emergency start this past Tuesday versus the Reds, yielding four earned runs on seven hits and two walks over just 3.1 innings.

Justin Verlander - Next start Tuesday vs. Rays Verlander's next start has been pushed from Monday to Tuesday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact David Peterson will make a spot start in the Mets' series finale against the Nationals on Monday, giving Verlander an extra day of rest while also lining him up to handle Tuesday's series opener versus the red-hot Rays. The veteran right-hander has posted a vintage 2.25 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB through 12 innings (two starts) with New York after missing the first five weeks of the season because of a shoulder strain.

Max Scherzer - Good to go for Sunday Scherzer (neck) told Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post on Friday that he will start Sunday against the Nationals.
Impact Scherzer got through a 35-pitch bullpen session Friday without any apparent issues, clearing the way for his return to the Mets' rotation. He will be pitching on 10 days' rest and for just the second time in nearly four weeks due to a suspension and then a neck problem. Scherzer is also reportedly still dealing with nagging discomfort below his right scapula.

Eduardo Escobar - Handling hot corner Escobar is starting at third base and batting eighth for the Mets on Friday against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Brett Baty has started three of the last four against lefties, but Escobar is subbing in for him versus MacKenzie Gore. Escobar has a .646 OPS against southpaws this season, which is actually much better than his .459 OPS against righties.

Brett Baty - Held out versus lefty Baty is absent from the Mets' lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Left-hander MacKenzie Gore actually has drastic reverse splits this season, with lefties producing a 1.258 OPS against him and righties a .584 OPS. He did fare better versus left-handed hitters in 2022, though, and the left-handed batting Baty will be on the bench in favor of Eduardo Escobar for this one.

Max Scherzer - Throws bullpen session Scherzer (neck) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact It was Scherzer's first time on the mound since he got scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday versus the Reds due to neck spasms. Those spasms lingered for a couple of days, but Healey notes that the veteran right-hander finished with a fist-bump after Friday's workout and will likely get the call for the Mets on Sunday against the Nationals.
