The one game this year he was really bombed, he was pitching for the 3rd day in a row.

Buck usually knows better than to do that.

Travel day today then the Astros come to Citi Field for another weird 2 game series.

Carlos Carrasco is scheduled to pitch Tuesday.  Right now, the Mets starting pitcher for Wednesday is TBD, but it is Tijuan Walker's turn in the rotation.

There is another scheduled day off Thursday and then the Rangers come to town for a 3 game series.  I am assuming it will be Bassitt, Peterson and Carrasco for those 3 games.

The 2 off days (and the one we just had) allow the Mets to get away with using 4 starters for quite a while.

Maybe Max returns to the rotation against the Reds on Monday, with Walker and Bassitt pitching on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Unless we have another injury, it looks like Trevor Williams is not going to be needed to start for a while.  Jake might join the rotation before the All Star break, Lucchesi could also be available around then and Megill could be back in ready around the All Star break.

There is talk of making Tylor a relief pitcher when he comes back, and it will probably happen if Max and/or Jake can stick in the rotation (hopefully both).  Holderman is back pitching with the Syracuse Mets and just looked terrific for them.  Add Lucchesi and Megill to the bullpen, along with Peterson, and in a few weeks, the Mets could be flush with pitching.

Let's hope everyone stays healthy.  Or at least most of them!
