Fri Jul 26 2013 | 17:06 | Jenrry Mejia impresses in 2013 debut |
Jenrry Mejia blanked the Nationals for seven innings, striking out seven, to earn a win Friday in his 2013 debut. |
Mejia was very impressive, throwing 93-94 mph consistently and mixing in his slider and changeup. Not only did he go without a walk, but he got to three balls on just two of the 27 batters he faced. We wouldn't expect a whole lot of consistency from Mejia, but he's worth trying in NL-only leagues now. Manager Terry Collins indicated that the Mets will probably go to a six-man rotation to make room for him. |

Mon Jul 22 2013 | 16:17 | Mejia could start Friday for Mets |
Mets manager Terry Collins said that Jenrry Mejia (elbow) is one of three or four pitchers being considered to start in Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals. |
Mejia, out for most of the season due to lingering elbow inflammation, has allowed one earned run in 11 innings over two starts since being assigned to Double-A Binghamton. His recent strong performance may give him the edge for the assignment over Chris Schwinden. Collins didn't dismiss the possibility of Rafael Montero getting a promotion, but he would have to be added to the 40-man roster. It's unlikely that will happen for a spot start. |
