Mets manager Terry Collins told the New York Daily News he is looking for starting pitcher Zack Wheeler to exceed 200 innings in his first full major league season. Collins said, "He had [168 2/3 innings] last year, so he should get over 200 if he goes out there 30-something times."
With the absence of Matt Harvey due to his recovery from Tommy John surgery, the Mets will need Wheeler, who made his major league debut in June, to play a more prominent role in the rotation.
