The New York Mets have had countless issues when it comes to their pitching depth, both in the rotation and the bullpen. Between injuries and ineffectiveness, there was a point in the season in which a rookie and two relievers were being used as starters.
The team is slowly getting healthier, but the pitching staff remains, at best, a question mark. The bullpen keeps blowing games and the starters, behind Jacob deGrom, provide no guarantees.
One of the members of the original New York Mets’ starting rotation, Steven Matz, went down with a shoulder injury in late August.
