Logan Verrett officially named Saturday's starter for New York
The New York Mets confirmed pitcher Logan Verrett will start Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals.
Verrett will take Matt Harvey's turn, who is now on the disabled list, and could stick around in the rotation with Zack Wheeler experiencing setbacks in his return from Tommy John surgery. Verrett has struggled in his five starts this season, posting a 5.32 ERA with a 5.08 xFIP.
Verrett owns a 4.01 ERA and a 4.96 xFIP overall on the season in 49 1/3 innings pitched. Our models project him to record a 5.57 ERA and a 15.90 strikeout percentage (league average is 21.00 percent) over the remaining course of the season.
