Mets' Rotation Struggles: A Risky Bet?

0:00It's April 26th. Welcome to New York meds news today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. The New York meds got rained out yesterday against the Colorado Rockies, dodging another rough outing from their shaky starting rotation. They've got issues everywhere, but the pictures up front are a big headache right now. Freddie Perolts has been okay, but can't last past the sixth inning. Nolan McLean shines early yet fades later, and Clay Holmes is the steadiest of the. Bunch Guy Senga is struggling hard with an ERA near 9, while David Peterson and Sean Manaya got bumped to the bullpen. McLean and Holmes together hold a solid ERA of 2.90, but the group's inconsistency is killing momentum. GM David Sterns admits they've seen flashes from Senga, but need way more reliability to build rhythm. He says the bullpen depth has helped in spots, even if it's not ideal to stash four starters or swing in there. On Friday, they send Christian Scott back to the minors after a blow-up start and called up Carl Edwards, Jr. from Triple A for bullpen help.

1:03Peterson might return to the rotation Wednesday unless they need him in relief first. This feels like a risky bet that's backfiring, banking on guys like Holmes, Manaya, and Peterson who faltered late last season. The Mets could be staring down a tough year unless the rotation clicks soon.
