David Peterson to Start on Wednesday Against Nationals
New York Mets left-hander David Peterson is returning to a starting role for Wednesday's matchup at home against the visiting Washington Nationals, according to Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record. Right-hander Christian Scott will start the series opener on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Angels. After being used as a reliever his last two times out, Peterson will make his fifth start of the 2026 season. The 30-year-old southpaw has been more effective out of the bullpen for the Mets so far, as he's allowed 15 runs (14 earned) on 26 hits (one homer) while walking 10 and striking out 21 in 19 2/3 innings over his four starts. Fantasy managers considering streaming Peterson at Citi Field on Wednesday will be taking on a considerable amount of risk with a low ceiling. The Nationals as a team are in the middle of the pack in terms of OPS to begin the season. Overall, Peterson has an ERA just over 5.00 this year with a career-low 19.2% strikeout rate.
