Wrap Up:
The Mets continue to jockey their pitching optioned between Triple-A and the majors as they try and figure out what’s going to work best right now. All signs to them doing what they have to before eventually calling up top prospect Christian Scott to have him join the rotation. Until that eventually happens expect to see a steady series of call-ups and sends downs as they manage this pitching staff.
