Mets RHP Logan Verrett will start his next scheduled start against the Padres at Citi Field later this week, Terry Collins told reporters Tuesday.
"We think he's the best match up for San Diego," Collins explained.
This past weekend, Collins said he was not sure Verrett would remain in the starting rotation.
In his only appearance against the Padres, Verrett faced nine batters and allowed three hits and a run.
In his six starts since joining the rotation full time in mid-July, Verrett is 1-5 with a 5.61 ERA, while giving up 32 hits and walking 15 batters in 33 innings.
