David Peterson struggled in his return to the Mets’ rotation, allowing seven earned runs in just 3 ⅔ innings during a 14-2 blowout loss to the Nationals. His ERA now stands at 8.10 for the season, and while he expressed confidence in overcoming his issues, the team’s dire pitching situation likely means he will remain in the rotation. Meanwhile, the Mets dealt with injuries to players like Luis Robert Jr. and Juan Soto, further complicating their lineup. The team made roster changes, including designating Tommy Pham for assignment and signing shortstop Jamari Baylor to a minor league deal.
