The Mets’ starting rotation is set to become crowded with Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea returning from rehab, while Paul Blackburn, currently in the bullpen, is drawing trade interest. Blackburn excelled in his only start this season against the Dodgers but struggled in relief against the Rockies, and with no minor league options left, the Mets risk losing him if sent down. With several All-Star candidates in the rotation and Senga’s recent injury, the team faces tough decisions, likely leading to Megill being sent to Triple-A, and potentially Canning losing his spot despite a solid ERA.
