Fantasy Impact

The left-hander has had a rough start to the season, posting a 7.68 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across seven starts. The Mets will hope for better results from Peterson in his next outing.

David Peterson is traveling to Cincinnati in the event Max Scherzer is unable to make his scheduled Tuesday start.

Fantasy Impact

Peterson was slated to start for Triple-A Syracuse, but is with the Mets in the event they need a starter. Scherzer is dealing with back tightness and is focused on managing it and staying on turn in the rotation. Fantasy managers will have to wait closer to game time to see if the Mets make a roster move to add Peterson to the active roster.

David Peterson has been demoted to Triple-A Syracuse.

Fantasy Impact

Peterson has struggled so far this season with a 7.34 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 6 starts. With both Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander due to return to the Mets soon, it's unclear when Peterson will get his next shot with the big league club.

David Peterson dropped to 1-4 after allowing four runs over five innings in Friday's rain-shortened five-inning loss to the Braves. Peterson struck out six but gave up five hits and a walk.

Fantasy Impact

Peterson was pitching well, matching Max Fried frame by frame until the fifth inning. The big blow came from a three-run HR by Matt Olson. The last three starts have not gone well for Peterson, who now owns a 7.34 ERA and 1.57 WHIP. He's pretty much a streaming-only option for fantasy at this point, and he could get a start against Detroit next week, depending on how the Mets manage their rotation.

David Peterson allowed seven earned runs over five innings in the Mets' loss to the Giants on Saturday. Peterson struck out eight but allowed seven hits, including two HRs.

Fantasy Impact

Peterson has struggled to keep the ball in the park this season, allowing seven dingers in 25 and 2/3 innings. His ERA ballooned to 7.36, and he's sporting an unsightly 1.64 WHIP. The only thing that has gone well for Peterson this season is his strikeout rate, which sits at 10.5 per nine. Peterson will need to pitch better if he wants to maintain a rotation spot once some of the injured Mets' starters return. It won't get any easier for him next time out, as he's scheduled to face the Braves.
