Mets Police has learned tonight’s game is at 7:20pm for some reason. The Mets are off tomorrow because it’s really far from Atlanta to Miami and they need to rest inbetween.
OF Cameron Maybin has been selected from Triple-A Syracuse…He will wear #15, and so will Media Goon who bought yet another jersey.
RHP Taijuan Walker has been placed on the 10-Day IL, retroactive to May 18, with left side tightness, but this is the Mets so he is totally fine man.
RHP Sam McWilliams has been placed on the IL.
LHP Stephen Tarpley has been placed on the IL
David Peterson is the only available pitcher tonight and will have to pitch every inning.
My number one follower RHP Noah Syndergaard made his first minor league rehabilitation outing today for St. Lucie (A) at Palm Beach (Cardinals)…He tossed 4.0 innings and allowed one hit and struck out five…He threw 44 pitches, 36 for strikes and retired the last 11 batters he faced…Syndergaard under “Tommy John” surgery on March 26, 2020…RHP Seth Lugo started for St. Lucie (A) last night and pitched a 1-2-3 first inning at Palm Beach (Cardinals)…He threw four pitches…It was his first minor league rehabilitation outing…Lugo had a loose body in his right elbow removed on February 16…Infielder J.D. Davis batted leadoff and played 4.0 innings at third base for Syracuse (AAA) last night vs. Lehigh Valley (Phillies)…He went 0-2 with a strikeout in his first minor league rehabilitation appearance…Davis has been on the Injured List since May 2 with a left hand sprain.
The Mets have hit seven home runs over their last five games…The team hit seven home runs over their previous 13 games…The Mets are 13-9 when hitting at least one home run and 4-2 when hitting two or more bombs…The Mets have hit 29 home runs this year, the second fewest in the majors…New York hit 86 blasts in 2020, the ninth-most in the majors and the fifth most in the NL…Last year Mets hit 1.43 HR per game, the second-best mark in franchise history, this year the team has hit 0.78 HR per game, which would be the worst mark since 2014 (0.77)
M-V-Pete: It is May 19th and Vulgar Pete Alonso leads the team in HRs with 6!
