Mets Plan Rotation Changes Ahead of Upcoming Series

The New York Mets are off to a strong start this season with a record of 10-5, highlighted by an 8-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics. However, some key players like Brett Baty and Edwin Díaz have struggled early on, raising concerns about their performance. As the team prepares for a series against the St. Louis Cardinals, manager Carlos Mendoza announced plans to potentially add a sixth starter to manage the rotation, particularly to give Kodai Senga extra rest after his impressive outing against the Athletics. Jose Urena is a candidate for this role, and the Mets are also considering trades to bolster their lineup, particularly in center field, where injuries have left them thin. The team is eyeing Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox, who, despite a slow start, has the potential to significantly enhance the Mets' outfield. With reinforcements expected back soon, the Mets are optimistic about their trajectory as they look to maintain their lead in the NL East.
