The New York Mets have currently lost 11-straight MLB games, and sit in the cellar of the NL East with a 7-15 record. They are desperately searching for a win, but did receive some good news on Tuesday that Juan Soto will likely be rejoining the lineup on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the Mets will open up a three-game set against the Minnesota Twins at Citi Field. The Mets will play nine straight home games in an attempt to fix their ugly record. Also on Tuesday, some announcements were made about the starting rotation.

Before the Mets upcoming series, manager Carlos Mendoza got the chance to speak with New York media, and here are some of the notable notes:
Carlos Mendoza said that Christian Scott will start on Thursday. Christian Scott is a 26-year-old right-handed starter who hasn’t pitched in MLB since 2024. In 2024, Scott made nine starts with the Mets and posted an ERA of 4.56 over 47.1 innings.
Mendoza also says that David Peterson will stay in the bullpen for the next turn through the starting rotation. Christian Scott will have to be recalled, so expect a roster move on that front either on or before Thursday.
Anthony DiComo also made this note about Kodai Senga: News: Christian Scott will start for the Mets on Thursday. Kodai Senga remains in the rotation, but he’ll be pushed back to the weekend.
Nolan McLean will get the start on Tuesday, and Clay Holmes is still slated to start on Wednesday.

Will the New York Mets Win on Tuesday?
This is the $371 million dollar question that is on every Mets fans mind, when will the team finally win another game? It’s been two weeks since the Mets last won a Major League Baseball game.
With Nolan McLean on the mound, you have to think this could be the Mets’ best shot, but this losing streak has come with so many heartbreaking outcomes, Mets fans should know NOT to get ahead of themselves in any way.
Over the past 11 games, the team from Queens has scored just 19 runs.
David Peterson being used in a bullpen role might also be somewhat concerning, not because he’s out of the rotation (that’s good news), but because of the fact that he was thought to be a name the Mets could rely on in 2026 after his All-Star 2025 season.
The addition of Juan Soto on Wednesday is great news, but New York needs to show it can win without Soto, who will have missed 15 total games.
