Mets' Manaea Stays in Bullpen as Rotation Shines

0:00On April 8th, the New York Mets are off to a strong start this season, and their pitching staff is the main reason why. Manager Carlos Mendoza just confirmed they're sticking with a 5-man rotation for now, which means Sean Menea remains in the bullpen instead of. Joining the starters. Mendoza explained he's completely satisfied with the top 5 pitchers performing so well right now. Earlier talks about expanding to 6 starters are on hold, at least through the next couple of turns in the rotation. The team laid it out clearly during spring training. If everyone stayed healthy, tough choices had to be made, and someone would draw the short straw. For relief duty, Menea's handling it like a pro, knowing his never could come up soon. With the schedule packed with off days, they don't see the knee for a 6th arm just yet. But they'll check back in after those initial rotations to see if adjustments are required. Keep watching the Mets mound as they roll through early games. Menea's spot in the mix could shift quicker than expected.
