The Mets will go to a six-man rotation once top pitching prospect Zack Wheeler is promoted Tuesday, the New York Daily News reports.
"What you end up doing, with the doubleheader Tuesday... what we are gonna do, most likely, when Zack comes, we will go with an extra starting pitcher for a turn so everybody can stay in line," manager Terry Collins said Wednesday. "We’ll see how those games come out certainly we have no intention of jerking anybody out (of the rotation) at this time."
The Mets could eventually remove Dillon Gee or Jeremy Hefner from the rotation if the team decides to return to the conventional five-man rotation.
