The New York Mets received devastating news just days before the season began—Marcus Stroman had a torn muscle in his calf and he was sent to the injured list. There was no telling how long he would be out for, and the Mets had no response to his injury.
In the days since, David Peterson was stellar in his MLB debut and Stroman has worked hard to get back into the rotation. According to general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, Stroman has been throwing bullpens without issue and is set to throw against live batters on Friday.
