"The first year of Frankie Montas' two-year reclamation project with the Mets ended with nine appearances, a demotion to the bullpen, a 6.28 ERA, and a season-ending UCL injury in his pitching elbow. Griffin Canning was lost for the season in June after rupturing his Achilles. Paul Blackburn was a non-factor. He lost his starting job in spring training, suffered multiple injuries, and was DFAd last month."
"Tylor Megill is working his way back from an injury, but he posted a 5.56 ERA across his last nine starts before hitting the IL. Clay Holmes is in completely unknown territory, having doubled his previous high in single-season innings pitched. The reliever-turned-starter has a 4.64 ERA in his last 11 starts. Sean Manaea, last season's second-half and postseason hero, is still trying to figure it out after he was sidelined until July."
The Mets rotation is undermined by injuries, poor performances, and roster turnover, leaving multiple starters unable to be trusted for postseason roles. Frankie Montas suffered a season-ending UCL injury after limited appearances and a demotion to the bullpen. Griffin Canning missed the season with a ruptured Achilles, and Paul Blackburn lost his role amid injuries and a DFA. Tylor Megill has struggled returning from injury, while Clay Holmes has seen an expanded workload with mixed results. Sean Manaea returned late and has posted a 5.01 ERA in early outings. Young arms Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong remain largely inexperienced.
