Rotation Spot in Jeopardy Following Loss and Mental Blunder

David Peterson's status in the Mets' starting rotation is under review following a disappointing outing against the Reds. The organization is considering swapping his role with Sean Manaea. Peterson’s performance was marred by a mental blunder criticized by Ron Darling, occurring after a wild throw allowed JJ Bleday to score and Tyler Stephenson to advance. The Mets had hoped for a strong start to snap a four-game skid, but instead face questions about Peterson's consistency.
