The Mets were hoping Friday was Jacob deGrom’s final meaningful start this season but remain ready to utilize him again before the playoffs if needed.
Scherzer and Bassitt are scheduled to pitch Saturday and Sunday against the Braves. Carlos Carrasco and Taijuan Walker are aligned to start against Washington on Monday and Tuesday.
As Hefner and team brass construct a postseason rotation one of the lingering questions is whether Carrasco or Walker will receive the final spot should the Mets win the division and advance directly to the NLDS.“That’s certainly part of the decision: How guys are feeling. How the ball is coming out of their hand,” Hefner said. “You try not to let too much recency bias into the decision, but I think it’s definitely a part of it.
Carrasco has pitched seven innings combined in his last two starts and allowed seven earned runs. The veteran right-hander has logged 148 innings, his highest total by far since 2018. “We have to listen to him and his body and what we’re seeing and try to make sure that we put him in the best possible position to be successful,” Hefner said, adding that a decision hasn’t yet been reached. “They have flip-flopped a little bit. Taijuan is starting to feel a little better. He was going through kind of a lull and now he’s feeling better and we have seen 95 [mph] again. Swing and miss on the slider a few times.
