Three days after the Mets transitioned to a six-man rotation, Terry Collins said the Mets are likely reverting back to a five-man rotation.
None of the Mets’ starting pitchers were in favor of the six-man rotation, and that’s what led to the front office quickly relenting.
While speaking with reporters prior to Friday’s game, Collins said the Mets were likely going back to a more traditional rotation. Collins said Jon Niese is not pitching for his job on Friday night, but the expectation is that one of the veterans — Niese or Dillon Gee — will be moved to the bullpen.
