Peterson will start Game 5 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Friday, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.
Peterson last pitched in Game 1 of the NLCS, though he's appeared exclusively out of the bullpen throughout the playoffs. He has yet to complete more than three innings in any of his six postseason appearances, and Kodai Senga sounds likely to also play a significant part of the Mets' plans Friday.

Mets' David Peterson: Tosses gem to earn 10th win
Rotowire
Peterson (10-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing one hit and three walks over seven scoreless innings against the Brewers. He struck out eight.
Peterson saved his best performance for when the Mets needed it most, allowing just a first-inning infield single to Jackson Chourio en route to his second scoreless effort of the year. The eight strikeouts matched his second-highest total of the season, while he dropped his ERA to an impressive 2.90 over 21 starts spanning 121 innings. The Mets still have work to do to make it to the postseason, but should they advance following Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta, Peterson would be required to work on short rest if he were to make an appearance in the Wild Card Round.

Mets' David Peterson: New York-Atlanta postponed
Rotowire
Peterson won't pitch as scheduled Wednesday against Atlanta after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Hurricane Helene has caused MLB to postpone both Wednesday's and Thursday's games, which will be made up via a doubleheader Monday if the results of those contests could affect playoff positioning. New York is currently a half-game up on Arizona for the final NL wild-card spot, with Atlanta being just a half-game back of the Diamondbacks. The Mets haven't disclosed how they plan to adjust their rotation following the pair of postponements, but Peterson could pitch this weekend in Milwaukee.

Mets' David Peterson: Stumbles against Phillies
Rotowire
Peterson (9-3) took the loss Friday against Philadelphia, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and no walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out four.
The southpaw failed to reach the fifth inning for the first time this season, as he allowed a run in every frame during this 64-pitch performance. This is now the second time in three starts Peterson has yielded four earned runs after previously stringing together seven consecutive outings allowing two or fewer runs. The 29-year-old's ERA has risen to 3.08 across 114 total innings to go with a 1.33 WHIP and 93:43 K:BB. Peterson will look to bounce back in his next start, currently scheduled to be one with tremendous playoff implications at Atlanta next week.

Mets' David Peterson: Rebounds against Phillies
Rotowire
Peterson didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Philadelphia, allowing one run on four hits and a walk across 7.2 innings. He struck out six.
Peterson and Cristopher Sanchez were locked into a pitchers' duel Sunday, but neither was credited with the victory. Peterson yielded five runs (four earned) in his previous start after yielding two or fewer earned runs in seven consecutive outings. Since the start of August, Peterson is 4-1 with a 2.22 ERA and a 46:17 K:BB across 56.2 innings.

Mets' David Peterson: Tough night in Toronto
Rotowire
Peterson (9-2) took the loss Tuesday, giving up five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings as the Mets were downed 6-2 by the Blue Jays. He struck out two.
The southpaw was saddled with his first loss since July 28 as he struggled with his command. While Peterson tossed a respectable 51 of 76 pitches for strikes, he uncorked two wild pitches and plunked a batter, and he gave up some hard contact when he was in the strike zone. He saw his quality start streak end at five, and since the beginning of August he still sports a 2.39 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 40:16 K:BB through 49 innings, Peterson will look to bounce back in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Nationals.

Mets' David Peterson: Racks up career-high 11 Ks
Rotowire
Peterson (9-1) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over six innings in a 7-2 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out 11.
The 11 strikeouts were a career high for the southpaw, who generated an impressive 20 swinging strikes among his 89 pitches. Peterson has won four straight decisions and has six quality starts in seven trips to the mound since the beginning of August, posting a 1.81 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 38:14 K:BB through 44.2 innings over that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Toronto.

Mets' David Peterson: Sharp again vs. D-Backs
Rotowire
Peterson didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Arizona, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out four.
Peterson has now gone seven innings in three straight starts while delivering quality starts in five of his last six outings -- he's pitched to an impressive 1.86 ERA in that span (38.2 innings). Overall, the left-hander is 8-1 with a 2.83 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 70:39 K:BB across 92.1 innings this season. Peterson will look to keep rolling in his next start, currently scheduled for next week at home versus the Red Sox.

Mets' David Peterson: Strong in eighth win
Rotowire
Peterson (8-1) picked up the win over the Padres on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks over 7.1 innings while striking out two.
Peterson surrendered just one hit through the first four innings before allowing three of the first four batters to reach in the fifth, leading to one run coming home for San Diego. He was later relieved by Dedniel Nunez with one out in the eighth, marking the second consecutive start in which he's been able to get through at least seven innings. Peterson has also logged a quality start in three straight and in four of his five outings this month. On the downside, his two strikeouts Saturday marked his lowest total in that category since July 1 against the Nationals, and he's now issued multiple walks in seven of his last nine starts.

Mets' David Peterson: Walks four in win
Rotowire
Peterson (7-1) allowed an unearned run on three hits and four walks while striking out four over 6.1 innings to earn the win Wednesday over the Athletics.
This marked Peterson's sixth time going at least six innings this season, and it was one of his strongest performances this year. The one concern that remains is his high walk rate -- he's issued at least three walks in five of his last six starts and has a 4.3 BB/9 this season. Peterson has managed to post a 3.04 ERA despite a 1.39 WHIP and 56:34 K:BB through 71 innings over 13 starts on the year. He's projected for a tougher home start versus the Orioles early next week.

Mets' David Peterson: Cruises to sixth win
Rotowire
Peterson (6-1) earned the win Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over five innings against the Rockies. He struck out five.
Peterson was provided a four-run lead prior to taking the hill and saw the lead grow as high as seven as he cruised to his sixth win. A Brenton Doyle sacrifice fly was the only run tallied against the Denver-born Peterson, who has now allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his last nine starts. While his WHIP is still a bit unsightly at 1.42, he's successfully limited the damage to the tune of a 3.34 ERA over 12 starts spanning 64.2 innings. He's next slated to toe the rubber when Oakland makes the cross-country trip to take on the Mets in Queens.

Mets' David Peterson: Allows four runs in defeat
Rotowire
Peterson (5-1) was saddled with the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks over five innings against Atlanta. He struck out seven.
Peterson faced just one batter over the minimum through three frames but allowed six of the first seven batters to reach base during a four-run fourth inning that led to Peterson taking his first loss of the season. It's only the second time in 10 starts Peterson has allowed more than two earned runs. He'll carry a 3.52 ERA and 1.47 WHIP into his next start, scheduled to take place in Anaheim against the Angels.

Mets' David Peterson: Notches fifth win
Rotowire
Peterson (5-0) picked up the win Monday against Miami, allowing two earned runs on six hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out four.
Peterson wasn't flashy, but he allowed two earned runs or fewer in a sixth consecutive start, logging a 2.53 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 30:18 K:BB in 32 innings during that stretch. The southpaw's poor 36:23 K:BB in 48.2 innings limits his upside, but he has been solid for the Mets this season with a 3.14 ERA. He will look to keep rolling his next time out, a start which is tentatively scheduled for this weekend against Atlanta.

Mets' David Peterson: Returns from paternity leave
Rotowire
The Mets activated Peterson (personal) from the paternity list Monday.
Peterson was away from the club for its final series before the All-Star break against the Rockies, but he'll be back on the roster for the start of the second half Friday in Miami. The Mets haven't revealed their post-break rotation plans yet, so it's not clear when Peterson's first start of the second half will come.

Mets' David Peterson: Moves to paternity list
Rotowire
The Mets placed Peterson on the paternity list Friday.
Peterson delivered six scoreless frames against the Nationals in his final start before the All-Star break Thursday, so his absence won't affect the Mets' rotation and will allow the club to add an extra bullpen arm. Eric Orze was called up in a corresponding move Friday.

Mets' David Peterson: Tosses six scoreless, earns win
Rotowire
Peterson (4-0) earned the win Thursday, tossing six scoreless innings while allowing four hits and three walks against the Nationals. He struck out five.
Peterson, who has now given up two earned runs or fewer in all but one of his eight starts, kept the Nationals off the board to mark his first scoreless outing of the season. Peterson lowered his ERA from 3.58 to 3.09 with the outing, though a less impressive 1.42 WHIP belies that ERA and portends more trouble in the future. Peterson will now receive extended time off as his next start is not scheduled to take place until following the All-Star break.

Mets' David Peterson: Inefficient in no-decision
Rotowire
Peterson came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pirates, giving up two runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out five.
The 28-year-old lefty ran up his pitch count and got the hook after 87 pitches (61 strikes), missing a chance to collect his fourth win of the season. Peterson has allowed two runs or less in four straight starts but has failed to complete five innings in two of them, leaving him with a 3.00 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB through 21 innings over that stretch. He could be the pitcher bumped from the rotation when Kodai Senga (shoulder) returns sometime after the All-Star break, but Peterson will take one more turn before the Midsummer Classic, lining up to face the Nationals at home next week.

Mets' David Peterson: Quality start in no-decision
Rotowire
Peterson did not factor into the decision in Monday's 9-7 win versus Washington, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out two.
The New York southpaw scattered seven singles en route to his third quality start of 2024. After issuing eight free passes across 10.1 innings in his previous two outings, Peterson was much sharper in this appearance, walking fewer than two for just the second time this season in six starts. The 28-year-old now sports a 3.51 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB in 33.1 overall innings. He is currently slated to make his next start against the Pirates in Pittsburgh this weekend.

Mets' David Peterson: Pitches well enough to win
Rotowire
Peterson (2-0) earned the win over Miami on Wednesday, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out one batter over five innings.
Peterson wasn't exactly impressive in the outing -- he induced only two swinging strikes and walked more batters (two) than he struck out (one) -- but he survived just long enough to pick up his second straight victory. The four runs were a season-high mark for the southpaw, who has made only three starts thus far after beginning the season on the injured list due to a hip injury. Peterson's 4.32 ERA through 16.2 innings may be good enough to help him maintain a spot in the rotation, though his 6:5 K:BB doesn't bode well for his fantasy appeal.

Mets' David Peterson: Efficient in first win
Rotowire
Peterson (1-0) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up two runs on five hits and two walks over 6.2 innings in a 6-3 victory over the Nationals. He struck out two.
The southpaw wasn't dominant, but he threw an efficient 81 pitches (52 strikes) as he recorded his first big-league win since July 27 of last year, which coincidentally was also against Washington. Peterson has made a good case so far for sticking in the Mets' rotation, allowing four earned runs in 11.2 innings over his first two starts. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Marlins.
