2024 Outlook
Roster %
Eligibility
David Peterson signed a one-year deal worth $2.15 million with the Mets to avoid arbitration.
Fantasy Impact
Peterson is expected to miss the first month or two of the season. He is off the fantasy radar.
Mets pitcher David Peterson has undergone surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left hip and is expected to miss 6-7 months.
Fantasy Impact
The 6-7 month timeline makes Peterson extremely unlikely for Opening Day in 2024. The left-hander largely scuffled in 27 appearances (21 starts) with the Mets in 2023, posting a 5.03 ERA and 3-8 record across 111 innings of work.
David Peterson had a solid outing on Friday, recording 10 strikeouts over 5.2 innings pitched against the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
However, he also allowed six hits and two earned runs, resulting in a 5-3 loss for the Mets. Despite the loss, Peterson's ability to miss bats is encouraging for fantasy owners, as he continues to display a strong strikeout rate of 10.17 K/9 this season. However, his overall numbers, including a 5.22 ERA and 1.59 WHIP, leave much to be desired, making him a risky option moving forward.
David Peterson went seven strong innings, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out eight, lowering his ERA to 5.23 and WHIP to 1.60 on the season.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the lack of wins, Peterson's solid performance should give fantasy managers confidence moving forward.
Mets pitcher David Peterson tossed 4 2/3 innings of four-run ball on Monday but managed to avoid the loss as the Mets provided 10 runs of offense against the Braves.
Fantasy Impact
Peterson's season-long struggles continued as he now owns a 5.59 ERA across 77 1/3 frames on the season, although his 4.22 SIERA suggests he should improve moving forward. Walks continue to be an issue as his 10.9% BB% is right in line with his 10.7% career mark.
