Fantasy Impact:
Peterson was unable to replicate his 2024 campaign but still had a solid season with the Mets last year as he went 9-6 with a 4.22 ERA in 30 starts. He also earned his first All-Star nod in 2025. In 2024, the lefty went 10-3 with a career-best 2.90 ERA in 21 starts. The former first-round pick by the Mets in 2017, Peterson is 37-30 with a 4.12 ERA in 131 career appearances in New York. He will occupy one of the spots in the Mets' starting rotation in 2026.
