New York Mets – Something isn’t quite right with Trevor May, who has given up 6 runs in his last 6.2 innings after a strong start to the season, and was randomly given extra rest by Luis Rojas earlier this week in a spot where he was seemingly in line to pitch. Whether he’s nursing a minor injury or not, it seems the Mets are looking to Jeurys Familia and Miguel Castro — the latter of whom did this to Ketel Marte while keeping the game tied across the 7th and 8th and earning a win when the Mets retook the lead — to do more of the heavy lifting for now. Seth Lugo also also made his first appearance of the season yesterday and could ascend the hierarchy quickly.
Updated hierarchy: Diaz | Castro | Familia.
New York Yankees – For the third straight appearance, Chad Green got the 8th inning ahead of Aroldis Chapman. Green has re-established himself as the handcuff for the surging Yankees.
Updated hierarchy: Chapman | Green | Loaisiga.
