David Peterson was hit hard again, but his spot in the rotation appears safe for now.
Here's what happened in Mets Land, in case you missed it...
- David Peterson was shellacked for a second straight start, allowing lots of hard contact and four runs while being pulled after just 2.2 innings as the Mets were blown out by the Orioles in Baltimore
- Despite Peterson's continued failure to provide length or prevent runs, Mets manager Luis Rojas said after the game that the expectation is that Peterson will make his next start
- Before the game, the Mets got good injury news on Jeff McNeil, who is expected to begin a rehab assignment this weekend
- Michael Conforto is a bit behind McNeil, but could start a rehab assignment within the next two weeks
- Albert Almora Jr. began a rehab assignment on Tuesday night, and Luis Guillorme is on track to be activated from the IL this weekend
- Jacob deGrom, Frank Viola, and the good side of social media
- Why MLB's foreign substance issue might not become historic scandal
