New York Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas' next start will be skipped on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves.
The Mets are choosing to take advantage of their scheduled off-days, so Vargas will sit out the two-game interleague road series. Zack Wheeler and Jacob deGrom will toe the rubber instead.
Vargas is averaging 15.2 FanDuel points in seven starts this season while recording a 7.71 ERA and 1.75 WHIP with 27 strikeouts and 12 walks across 30 1/3 innings.
