New York Mets pitcher Drew Gagnon will be utilized as the opener Monday night against Washington. This will be the first start of the year for Gagnon, who has pitched 11 innings so far in six games this season. Gagnon has been effective lately, as he has not allowed a run in his last five outings covering 5 2/3 innings. Gagnon is not expected to work deep into the game, as he has not gone more than three innings in an outing since April 16. This has the makings of a full-on bullpen game for the struggling Mets.
After New York Mets starting pitcherSteven Matz surrendered eight runs without recording an out Tuesday night, the Mets turned to Drew Gagnon in the hopes of an extended performance out of the bullpen. While Gagnon allowed six runs, his 5 1/3 innings and 97 pitches provided the Mets a gift, as they didn't have to tire out their bullpen for a 27-out performance. While he's likely to be demoted back to Syracuse, his performance could benefit the Mets in the short term.
New York Mets pitcher Drew Gagnon made his Major League debut on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies, and it did not go well. Gagnon only lasted 4 2/3 innings pitched in the 7-3 loss, allowing six earned runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two. He allowed two home runs on the evening, one apiece to Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco and outfielder Odubel Herrera. Chances are, Gagnon wont see another start for a bit. He wasnt exactly performing well in the Minor Leagues, either, pitching to a 4.67 ERA and 5.10 FIP in 17 starts this season. He can be ignored in all fantasy leagues.
The New York Mets have recalled Drew Gagnon from Triple-A to start against the Phillies on Tuesday. Paul Sewald was optioned in a corresponding move. He'll face another pitcher making his MLB debut in Enyel De Los Santos. Gagnon has struggled in 2018, pitching to a 2-4 record with a 4.40 ERA and a 104/32 K/BB ratio. The strikeout numbers are nice, but Gagnon isn't a recommended streamer against a potent Phillies lineup on Tuesday.
