Sam Long - Draws spot startLong is scheduled to start Friday's series opener with the Nationals in Washington, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

ImpactSince Long will be returning to the mound on two days' rest and hasn't recorded more than four outs in any of his appearances this season or during spring training, he'll likely be on a very limited pitch count in his first start. The southpaw will be slotting in as the fifth starter temporarily after Alex Cobb went on the injured list Wednesday with a right adductor strain. The Giants are hoping Cobb will be ready to go by the time his next turn in the rotation comes up at the end of the month.

Mark Canha - Drives in two ThursdayCanha went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Thursday's win over the Giants.

ImpactHe supplied the Mets with some insurance in the third inning, bringing home two runs with a two-out single. Canha hasn't missed a beat since spending a week on the COVID-19 injured list, and while he's still looking for his first extra-base hit this season, the 33-year-old outfielder is batting .379 with a .471 OBP and six RBI through eight games.

Joely Rodríguez - Picks up first holdRodriguez retired the only batter he faced to record his first hold of the season in Thursday's win over the Giants.

ImpactAfter Carlos Carrasco gave up a two-out solo shot to Mike Yastrzemski in the eighth inning and got the hook, Rodriguez came in with the Mets ahead 5-2 and got Brandon Belt to pop out to end the frame. Rodriguez has been used in a situational role this season, working less than one full inning in three of his six appearances, and the journeyman southpaw's 9.64 ERA through 4.2 innings seems mostly a product of bad luck considering his 1.07 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB.
