David Peterson Fantasy Stats

New York Mets left-hander David Peterson is generating interest in a "pretty active" trade market this offseason, and the Mets are open to moving the 2025 All-Star if they can find the right fit in a need-for-need type of trade, league sources told Tim Britton and Will Sammon of The Athletic. The Mets are in the market for an outfielder to replace Brandon Nimmo, who was traded to the Texas Rangers for second baseman Marcus Semien. They are also looking for a first baseman, designated hitter, and relief help. New York has a high asking price for Peterson, who has an affordable salary next season after two strong seasons. The 30-year-old southpaw might have struggled down the stretch in 2025, but he was the Mets' most reliable starter for the majority of the year, and he's posted a 3.67 ERA in 51 starts since coming back from hip surgery after the 2023 season. Peterson is entering his final season of team control and is projected to make $7.6 million in salary arbitration.

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson was smacked around his last few starts, but looked solid on the mound during Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Over his last two starts, Peterson allowed 10 earned runs on 12 hits with six walks, but looked like a different pitcher on Thursday. The southpaw limited the Brewers lineup to one earned run on five hits while striking out four in the win. He'll take a 3.18 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 87/37 K/BB ratio across 17 starts into his next outing versus the Baltimore Orioles. Peterson has pitched well enough this season to be trusted as a streaming option for that one.

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson was masterful on Wednesday against the Nationals, striking out nine in a complete-game shutout. He allowed six hits and didn't walk a batter. It looked to be a great matchup going in against a Washington lineup that struggles against lefties, but no one would have predicted a start this good. He induced 13 whiffs on the night, and all five of his pitches each had an individual called strike plus whiff rate of 30 percent or higher. The 29-year-old has yet to allow more than three runs in a start all season long and will carry a 2.49 ERA into his next outing against the Braves.

New York Mets left-hander David Peterson tossed seven effective innings in a no-decision against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. The Mets suffered a 6-5 loss, but Peterson allowed just three earned runs on seven hits, struck out six, and walked two to rack up his seventh quality start of 2025. The 29-year-old has been a model of consistency, having given up three or fewer earned runs in all 12 of his starts this season. Thanks in part to a career-best 56.9 ground-ball rate, Peterson has pitched to an appealing 2.80 ERA in 70 2/3 frames. He's slated to start on Wednesday against a middle-of-the-pack Washington Nationals offense.

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson allowed two earned runs and five hits over 7 2/3 innings in his team's 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The veteran walked two and struck out seven to secure his fourth consecutive quality start and third win of 2025 (3-2). Peterson was yet again solid -- as he has been all season -- notching his tenth straight outing with three earned runs or fewer. It hasn't always been efficient, but he was slightly better with walks this time around after surrendering three or more across his last three appearances. The Oregon product will carry a strong 2.79 ERA and (slightly inflated )1.28 WHIP into an enticing start against the visiting Colorado Rockies late next week.

The New York Mets have left-hander David Peterson (illness) lined up to make his next start this Saturday against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park in Sacramento. Peterson wasn't feeling great in his last start on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays, when he allowed an earned run on three hits while walking five and striking out three for a no-decision in 4 2/3 innings of work. The 29-year-old southpaw should be feeling much better by Saturday and will have a great matchup against the A's on the road. Peterson had a quality start and his first win of the season in his first outing of the year on March 31 against the division-rival Miami Marlins, allowing two earned runs on five hits (two solo homers) while walking three and striking out nine. Fantasy managers will be hoping for something similar in his third outing this weekend.

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson (undisclosed) was removed from Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays with a potential injury. The southpaw threw four scoreless innings allowing only two hits. However, Peterson appeared to tweak his back in the fifth inning and that's where it unraveled for him. He walked two batters and hit another batter before Mets manager Carlos Mendoza removed him from the contest. If he's fine, Peterson would be in line to start against the Athletics next week. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for an update following Sunday's game.

New York Mets left-hander David Peterson picked up the win in a quality start over the Miami Marlins on Monday. Peterson allowed two runs on five hits over six innings while striking out nine and walking three in the win. The veteran lefty looked good in his first start of the season, allowing just a pair of solo homers while punching out nine batters after notching more than eight strikeouts just once across 21 starts in 2024. Peterson will look to keep it going in his next start, which is scheduled for Sunday at home against the Toronto Blue Jays.

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson will start Game 5 of the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Peterson has pitched four times this postseason and has been limited to three or fewer innings in each of those outings, meaning he will likely be on a very short leash again in a do-or-die game for the Mets. Despite the low innings total, Peterson has been solid in his outings, allowing just two earned runs over 8 IP. He will need to be sharp again on Friday, as he will go up against Jack Flaherty in a must-win situation.

New York Mets left-handed pitcher David Peterson finished off the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, picking up the first save of his career in a 4-2 win in Game 3 of their Wild-Card series. Peterson was tasked with facing the bottom of the Brewers lineup, which included two lefties. After giving up a leadoff single, Peterson induced a strikeout and a double play to finish off the series. It was a gutsy inning for the lefty, who could be in line for a multi-inning role out of the bullpen in the NLDS or could end up making a start. Any way you slice it, Peterson is a terrific weapon to have for the Mets.
