"David Peterson has pitched himself out of a starter's job, at least for now. Manager Carlos Mendoza opted to give reliever Tobias Myers the ball to start Sunday's series finale against the Cubs in Chicago as an opener, with Peterson following him out of the bullpen."
"Peterson entered Sunday's action with an 0-3 record and a 6.41 ERA across four starts this season. He was tagged for four runs on five hits with four walks and seven strikeouts across five innings on April 13 against the Los Angeles Dodgers."
"Starting with Myers, a right-hander, gave Mendoza an opportunity to create more of a balanced lineup given how teams are stacking up righties, especially at the top against Peterson."
"I don't think it matters what my reaction is, Peterson told Mike Puma of the New York Post. It matters what the best decision for the team is. We're trying to do everything we can to win games."
David Peterson has been removed from his starting role due to poor performance, with an 0-3 record and a 6.41 ERA in four starts. Manager Carlos Mendoza decided to use reliever Tobias Myers as an opener against the Cubs, with Peterson following from the bullpen. Peterson's recent outings have been disappointing, allowing 14 earned runs in his last three starts. Mendoza aims to create a balanced lineup against right-handed hitters, while another struggling starter, Kodai Senga, remains in the rotation despite his recent difficulties.
