ST. LOUIS — With the Mets in the midst of a stretch of 13 straight games without an off day, the front office and club's leadership has had to get creative to make sure its starting rotation stays fresh early in the season.
The revolving door of spot starts has landed on one of the club's most intriguing pitching prospects for this weekend's series against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
Blake Tidwell, the Mets' No. 15 overall prospect and No. 5 pitching prospect according to MLB Pipeline, will draw the Mets' start on Sunday against the Cardinals, manager Carlos Mendoza confirmed ahead of the series opener on Friday afternoon.
