The New York meds have locked in their starting rotation for the 2026 season just ahead of opening day. Freddie Peralta leads off on opening day, followed by David Peterson on March 28th, Nolan McLean in the third spot, Clay Holmes 4th, and Kodaisenga rounding out the 5. Running off a tough late season slump last year, blamed on shaky starters, spring training turned into a real battle for those rotation spots. Peralta and McLean, the rookie standout, were sure things, but the rest came down to who impressed most over 24 games. Fans and analysts are buzzing about Peterson landing the number 2 role, despite a rough spring, where he posted a 5.63 ERA over 8 innings. The team is banking on his strong first half from 2025 to carry over, while veteran Sean Manaya in year 2 of his 75 million.

1:02Dollar deal surprisingly got left out of the top 5. Holmes earned his spot with a sharp 2.8 for ERA, 13 strikeouts, and just 3 walks in 12.2 innings. Senghas shown even brighter at 1.86 ERA with 11 strikeouts and 1 walk in 9.2 innings, how dueling Manaya's solid, but not, standout 3.72 mark. Manaya shifts to a key backup role behind Peterson, giving the Met's flexibility as they chase a rebound season starting soon.
