Mets' David Peterson scratched from scheduled start but is not injured
Key Points:
- The New York Mets have removed David Peterson from his scheduled Sunday start against the Chicago Cubs, opting to start Tobias Myers instead.
- The Mets are currently enduring a 10-game losing streak, their longest since 2004, and are urgently seeking a win.
- Peterson, who is not injured, has struggled with a 6.41 ERA over four starts, including allowing four early runs in his last outing against the Dodgers.
- Tobias Myers, who has a 3.64 ERA in six relief appearances this season, had been stretched out as a starter in spring training and recently pitched two innings allowing one earned run.
- The decision reflects the Mets' attempt to improve their pitching performance amid a challenging losing streak.
