Peterson didn't factor into the decision in the opening game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Orioles, allowing one run on five hits over seven innings. He struck out six.
Peterson was excellent Thursday, holding the O's scoreless through his first seven innings. However, he'd depart after allowing a leadoff single in the eighth to Colton Cowser, who'd ultimately score the tying run after the Mets turned to the bullpen. The 29-year-old Peterson has allowed just two earned runs over 13.2 innings in his last two starts after giving up 10 runs across 8.2 innings in his previous two outings. Overall, the left-hander is 6-4 with a 3.06 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 93:37 K:BB through 18 starts (109 innings) this season.

Mets' David Peterson: Gives up five runs in loss
Rotowire
Peterson (5-4) took the loss against the Pirates on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five across 4.2 innings.
Peterson yielded four of his five runs in the second inning, with the Pirates driving in runs in four consecutive plate appearances, and he didn't get enough run support to escape with the no-decision. Peterson strung together seven quality starts in eight outings after the beginning of May, but he has given up five earned runs in back-to-back appearances, which has inflated his numbers to a 3.30 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 83:34 K:BB across 95.1 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the Brewers.

Mets' David Peterson: Earns fourth win
Rotowire
Peterson (4-2) earned the win against the Rockies on Friday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out five across 5.2 innings.
Peterson faced the minimum number of batters in two of the first five innings of Friday's game. He was brought back out for the sixth, but he was lifted after yielding an RBI double to Ryan McMahon. Peterson was one out shy from what would have been his fifth straight quality start (and seventh of the season), but regardless he received enough run support to come away with the win. The 29-year-old southpaw hasn't given up more than three earned runs in any of his 11 starts this season, and his 2.69 ERA (across 63.2 innings) is sixth best among qualified starters in the National League this season. He is slated to make his next start on the road against the Dodgers next week.

Mets' David Peterson: Shines in win over Dodgers
Rotowire
Peterson (3-2) earned the victory over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 7.2 innings.
Peterson fell behind 2-0 in the second inning but didn't give up another run for the remainder of his outing. The southpaw completed a season-high 7.2 frames (in fact, this was the first time all year he's pitched more than six innings) and recorded his fourth straight quality start. Peterson's past two outings have been particularly impressive given the quality of opponent -- he's yielded just three earned runs over 13.2 frames versus the Yankees and Dodgers. The veteran hurler has been a key part of the Mets' rotation this year, posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 54:22 K:BB through 58 innings. Peterson's next start is projected to be much less intimidating on paper than his past two, as he's lined up to face the Rockies at home next weekend.

Mets' David Peterson: Quality start against NYY
Rotowire
Peterson didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's loss to the Yankees, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks across six innings. He struck out four.
Peterson started slowly, with leadoff hitter Paul Goldschmidt reaching on a throwing error in the first inning before back-to-back doubles by Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger yielded a pair of runs. The 29-year-old southpaw kept the Yankees from adding any more runs, but his efforts weren't enough to land a victory. Peterson has now logged three consecutive quality starts, though he's walked 11 batters in 18.0 innings during that stretch. On the year, Peterson has a 2.86 ERA over 50.1 innings. He's lined up to face the Dodgers next weekend.

Mets' David Peterson: Grabs easy win Tuesday
Rotowire
Peterson (2-1) got the win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits while striking out two over five innings. He did not walk a batter.
Peterson got through four scoreless before the Diamondbacks finally pushed across a run with two singles and a double in the fifth. He did not come back out for the sixth despite being at 85 pitches and the Mets holding an 8-1 lead and hasn't reached six innings in any of his last three starts. Peterson's had two outings with nine strikeouts already this season but has combined to punch out only four in his last two starts. On a positive note, he has one walk over his last four outings and hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start thus far.

Mets' David Peterson: Matches season high with nine Ks
Rotowire
Peterson didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Cardinals after allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.
The nine punchouts matched a season high, and just one of Peterson's nine hits allowed went for extra bases. The left-hander has upped his strikeout rate a bit to begin the season, fanning 26 over 22 innings, and he should maintain a rotation spot as long as Sean Manaea (oblique), Frankie Montas (lat) and Paul Blackburn (knee) are all on the shelf. Peterson has a serviceable 3.27 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across four starts this season, but he's in line for a difficult assignment in next week's scheduled outing against the Phillies.

Rotowire
Peterson (1-1) took the loss Saturday against the Athletics, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out five across six innings. He did not issue a walk.
Peterson started out strong by retiring eight of the first nine batters he faced, but he ran into trouble in the fourth inning when he gave up four hits and two runs. He was able to recover to get through the next two innings without issue and finished his outing tossing 89 pitches (66 strikes), with 19 first-pitch strikes and eight whiffs, though the 29-year-old southpaw did not receive enough run support from his teammates to avoid the loss. Peterson has had a strong start to the season, registering a 2.70 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB across 16.2 innings. He's tentatively slated to face off against the Cardinals at home next week.

Mets' David Peterson: In clear to start Saturday
Rotowire
Peterson (illness) is listed as the Mets' probable starting pitcher for Saturday's game against the Athletics in Sacramento.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged after Peterson's latest start Sunday against Toronto that the southpaw was dealing with some nauseousness, but Peterson never appeared to be at any major risk of missing his next turn through the rotation. Despite being less than 100 percent and issuing five walks while taking a no-decision against Toronto, Peterson limited the Blue Jays to one run over 4.2 innings, lowering his ERA to 2.53 in the process.

Mets' David Peterson: Nausea prompts early exit
Rotowire
Peterson was removed from Sunday's start against the Blue Jays in the fifth inning due to nausea and blurred vision, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander was in clear discomfort during the fifth inning and was finally pulled with two outs after he had two walks and a hit-by-pitch to three straight batters. Prior to that inning, Peterson was pitching well and still allowed just one run across his 4.2 frames. Peterson should be OK for his next turn through the rotation versus the A's next weekend.

Mets' David Peterson: Pitches through apparent injury Sunday
Rotowire
Peterson appeared to be pitching through an unspecified injury during his start in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. He took a no-decision in the Mets' 2-1 win after giving up one earned run on three hits and five walks while striking out three.
Peterson kept the Blue Jays off the board over the first four innings but seemed to be in discomfort while laboring through the top of the fifth. He was visited on the mound on multiple occasions during the inning and issued a pair of walks and also hit a batter to load the bases before manager Carlos Mendoza pulled him from the game. Max Kranick came on from the bullpen and recorded the final out of the inning to strand three runners and allow the Mets to maintain a one-run lead that held up as the difference, but Peterson didn't qualify for the win after narrowly missing out on the five-inning threshold. Mendoza should provide more details regarding Peterson's situation after the game, but for now, the left-hander tentatively lines up to make his next turn through the rotation next weekend versus the Athletics in Sacramento.
