Mets consider skipping Megill's turn in rotation amidst recent struggles.

The New York Mets are considering skipping Tylor Megill's turn in the rotation due to his recent struggles and the team's upcoming off days. They could potentially add a reliever and align Kodai Senga, Carlos Carrasco, Max Scherzer, and Justin Verlander for their next starts. The Mets wouldn't need a fifth starter until June 20th. If Megill is optioned to Triple-A Syracuse, Joey Lucchesi or David Peterson could take his place. The Mets could also keep Megill in the bullpen and reinsert him into the rotation when needed.

Mets and Tigers face doubleheader after rainout.

The New York Mets had their game postponed due to rain for the third time in four days, leading to a split doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. Joey Lucchesi and Max Scherzer will start in that order.

Fans holding tickets for Tuesday's rainout can use them for the 1:40 p.m. game on Wednesday or exchange them for another Tigers home game within the next 12 months, excluding the 2024 home opener.
