Mets move David Peterson to bullpen and tab Sean Manaea to pitch in his place
Sean Manaea gets a chance to start or work behind an opener after David Peterson’s move to relief, with the Mets seeking better results.
- Manager Carlos Mendoza announced on Friday that the New York Mets moved David Peterson to the bullpen, replacing him in the rotation with Sean Manaea before the series opener against the Miami Marlins at Citi Field.
- Peterson, struggling with a 5.57 ERA this season, allowed six runs and a career-high 11 hits in a Tuesday loss to Cincinnati, dropping his record to 3-5. The 30-year-old will be available out of the bullpen beginning Sunday against Miami.
- With a recent uptick in velocity to 92-94 MPH, Manaea will either start or pitch after an opener Monday in Seattle, receiving a chance to regain his effectiveness after struggling in relief this season.
- Mendoza emphasized that Peterson remains vital, stating "performance matters here, too." The manager said if Peterson throws well, he will continue to receive high-leverage opportunities rather than remaining solely in relief.
- Manaea is in the second season of a three-year contract with the Mets, while Peterson faces free agency following the World Series. The rotation change reflects the team's effort to stabilize pitching depth.
