"I mean, I am a starter. I think that's point blank, Peterson told amNewYork when asked if there was anything he needed to show management during the final week of the regular season. That's how it is. You get into the playoffs, and you're going to have guys [move to the bullpen], especially early on. You need three starters, maybe four for the second round. So you're going to have a couple guys that are gonna go into the bullpen."
"Peterson has been the only New York starter who has been immune to the ever-fluctuating, constantly changing rotation this season, which has come out of necessity. Griffin Canning, Frankie Montas, and Tylor Megill are done for the season. Kodai Senga was so bad upon returning from a hamstring injury in July that he accepted a demotion to Triple-A to work on his stuff and it still isn't there yet. Sean Manaea and Clay Holmes are piggybacking off each other, with the day's starter changing twice in as many turns of the rotation."
David Peterson asserts that he is a starter and expects to remain in the Mets' postseason rotation despite recent struggles. The Mets' rotation has been unstable due to multiple injuries and ineffectiveness: Griffin Canning, Frankie Montas, and Tylor Megill are done for the season, Kodai Senga was demoted to Triple-A after a poor return from a hamstring injury, and Sean Manaea and Clay Holmes are alternating starts while adjusting to injuries and workloads. Peterson posted a 2.83 ERA across his first 21 starts and earned his first All-Star selection, but has a 7.59 ERA in his last eight starts.
