\n This much is known: The Mets need four starting pitchers over the next three days. They have four arms \u2014 Steven Matz, Robert Gsellman, Michael Wacha and David Peterson \u2014 in mind. It remains to be seen when they will be used, and if Wacha and Peterson will be able to start.<\/p>\n

Manager Luis Rojas declined to offer much insight, even for Thursday\u2019s series<\/a> finale against the Marlins, other than to say Matz and Gsellman weren\u2019t going to be used Wednesday night out of the bullpen. Wacha and Peterson, both still on the injured list with shoulder ailments, threw bullpen sessions on Monday and are in play to start over the next three days.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we\u2019re staying TBD for [Thursday]. We\u2019re still on a day-by-day app<\/a>roach,\u201d Rojas said over Zoom before the Mets topped the Marlins, 5-4, at Citi Field on Wednesday night. \u201cWe\u2019re having a couple of guys play catch, throw sides today, and just to see how they feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Thursday, the Mets will need two starters for Friday\u2019s doubleheader against the Yankees in The Bronx and a single game<\/a> on Saturday, before likely going back to Rick Porcello and Seth Lugo for Sunday\u2019s twin bill against the Yankees.<\/p>\n

Matz, scuffling with a 9.00 ERA, was bumped from the rotation in favor of Lugo for last Thursday\u2019s scheduled game against the Marlins in Miami. Of course, that game was never played when a player and coach tested positive for COVID-19. Gsellman made two abbreviated starts in place of Wacha, allowing four runs across 3 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings pitched.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking at [Wacha] possibly starting one of the upcoming days,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at Peterson also progressing in a way he can start soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Edwin Diaz left in the eighth inning with the bases loaded due to an injury, but the Mets don\u2019t believe it is anything more than a left leg cramp. Diaz inherited a bases-loaded, one-out jam from Justin Wilson and struck out the first hitter, Jesus Sanchez. After Jesus Aguilar reached on an infield single, Diaz walked Corey Dickerson to force in a run and was behind Brian Anderson 2-1, when Rojas came out with the trainer and took Diaz out.<\/p>\n

Diaz, favoring his left leg, tried to convince Rojas to leave him in, but the Mets\u2019 manager didn\u2019t want to risk further injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could lead to something else,\u201d Rojas said.<\/p>\n

He inserted Brad Brach, who walked in the tying run, but Wilson Ramos\u2019 go-ahead single in the bottom half of the inning took Diaz off the hook.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Just when the Mets thought Amed Rosario had begun to turn the corner, producing consecutive multi-hit games last week, he has returned to expanding the strike zone and going 1-for-13 over his last four games. He was even pinch-hit for during the nightcap of Tuesday\u2019s doubleheader sweep and has yet to draw a walk in 89 at-bats this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s still chasing,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cHe\u2019s still chasing some pitches and it\u2019s a constant reminder, it\u2019s constant teaching, it\u2019s constant work with him just to get him to take [more] quality at-bats because the byproduct is for him to get the pitches he\u2019s going to be able to handle, do more damage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

The Mets-Yankees doubleheader will begin Friday in The Bronx at 4:05 p.m. The Mets will be the home team in the second game. On Sunday, the doubleheader will start at 1:05 p.m. with the same designations.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

The Mets optioned catcher Patrick Mazeika to their alternate training site in Brooklyn, leaving them again with two catchers on the roster.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
