• Mets' David Peterson: Hit hard against Cubs

  09/24/2025 • By RotoWire

  Peterson allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one batter in 1.1 innings Tuesday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision. Peterson continued his stretch of horrendous starts in Tuesday's outing. In nine starts dating back to Aug. 6, Peterson has allowed at least four runs in six of them and has an 8.42 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over that span. The Cubs strung together a pair of runs in the first and another three in the second, forcing a quick hook for Peterson after he threw just 42 pitches (22 strikes). Manager Carlos Mendoza mentioned afterward that Peterson could play a big role for the remaining five games of the regular season, potentially pitching out of the bullpen. As of now, Peterson is lined up to start Sunday against the Nationals, though that would change if he's used in relief in advance of that game.

  Peterson (9-6) took the loss Wednesday against the Padres, surrendering six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over five innings. The left-hander kept things close early but imploded in the fifth, when he issued two walks and allowed a bunt single to load the bases before Manny Machado cleared them with a grand slam. Peterson has struggled mightily since the beginning of August, posting a 6.99 ERA across nine outings (46.1 innings) and recording only two quality starts during that stretch. The 30-year-old is slated to face the Cubs in his next outing.

  Peterson didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Phillies, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out eight.
