“#Six-man rotation could be in play<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

As the Mets explore possibilities to manage workloads for starting pitchers this season, a six-man rotation could be in play.<\/p>\n

In discussing his rotation Friday, manager Luis Rojas said team officials may contemplate in spring training whether a \u201cfive or a six\u201d is needed. But he said those discussions have not occurred yet.<\/p>\n

The Mets have the option for six after reaching agreement with free agent Taijuan Walker, who slots behind Jacob deGrom, Carlos Carrasco and Marcus Stroman. The possibilities behind that group include David Peterson, Joey Lucchesi and Jordan Yamamoto. By June, the Mets hope Noah Syndergaard (who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery) will join the mix.<\/p>\n

After last year\u2019s pandemic-shortened season, teams will be vigilant of ensuring starting pitchers \u2014 who didn\u2019t build up workloads as normal \u2014 aren\u2019t overextended.\u201cMy whole life I have seen myself as a starter, and that is what I truly believe,\u201d Lucchesi said. \u201cI have tunnel vision, and I am ready to help the Mets compete and win us ballgame<\/a>s, so that is all I am focused on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The left-hander Lucchesi, who arrived from San Diego in a three-way trade that included Pittsburgh, has worked as both a starter and reliever during his major league career.<\/p>\n

\n

Dellin Betances has been playing catch, according to Rojas, but is among the pitchers who hasn\u2019t yet thrown a side session (some players were delayed getting cleared for workouts due to intake testing). <\/p>\n

The veteran reliever missed much of the final month last season with a lat strain, but returned for the season-concluding series<\/a> in Washington.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [has] looked great and he worked in two different places in the offseason,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cHe is here and showing in great shape. He is feeling good. He is ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sam McWilliams will stretch out as a starter in camp, just to ensure he\u2019s built up if needed for that role, according to Rojas. The right-hander is viewed as a \u201cmulti-inning\u201d pitcher.<\/p>\n
Lucchesi provided clarification on the pronunciation of his name.<\/p>\n

\u201cLu-CASEY,\u201d he said. \u201cUsually people mess it up, but it\u2019s OK because I am used to that. I have heard \u201cLu-CHEESEY, Lu-CHESSY \u2026 but I am so used to that, so it\u2019s all good.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
