CHICAGO — Marcus Stroman’s arrival to the Mets is scheduled for Wednesday, after which the right-hander will throw a bullpen session and a decision will be reached on where to slot him in the rotation.
On Tuesday, manager Mickey Callaway only would say that Stroman will pitch at some point this weekend in Pittsburgh. Whether Stroman, who was acquired this week in a deal with the Blue Jays, pitches Friday or Saturday could hinge upon whether Zack Wheeler is traded Wednesday.
If Wheeler is dealt, Steven Matz could move up and pitch Thursday against the White Sox.
