Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced before Sunday’s game with the San Francisco Giants that the left-hander David Peterson will return from the injured list and start Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
With Peterson returning, right-handed Adriano Houser returns to the bullpen and is available for Sunday’s matchup with the Giants.
The 28-year-old Peterson has yet to play for the Mets this season as he recovers from offseason hip surgery.
Peterson has made six rehab appearances, with his most recent appearance coming last Friday for Triple-A Syracuse. Peterson threw 89 pitches on Friday, allowing two earned runs (three runs total) on seven hits in 4.0 innings.
Peterson has pitched in 80 regular-season games for the Mets over the past four seasons, including 27 starts (21 starts) in 2023. Overall, the lefty has a career ERA of 4.51 and a career WHIP of 1.41.
