2023 Fantasy Outlook
Peterson had middling results in 15 starts for the Mets in 2021, but he was much better as a swingman last season with a 3.83 ERA across 105.1 innings. The lefty started in 19 of his 28 appearances and was effective in both roles. He added a tick to his fastball and more heavily mixed in his off-speed pitches, which helped lead to a 27.8 percent strikeout rate. New York is looking to bolster its rotation during the offseason -- whether it's by re-signing Jacob deGrom or bringing in a new face remains to be seen -- but Peterson pitched well last year and should have a chance to lock down a rotation spot during spring training. He has yet to show he can produce consistently year-to-year but is trending toward fantasy utility after a strong 2022. Read Past Outlooks

Heads back to Triple-A
The Mets optioned Peterson to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Peterson struggled in another spot start Monday versus the Nationals and now sports a 1-6 mark with a brutal 8.08 ERA through 39 innings this season at the MLB level. Josh Walker will join the Mets' bullpen in a corresponding move.

2018
Marcus Stroman's injury paved the way for Peterson's early promotion from the Mets' alternate training site. He remained in the rotation all year, save for a 10-day stint on the IL with shoulder inflammation and a brief trip to the bullpen. Peterson appeared in 10 games, starting nine while supplying the Mets with much-needed innings. While his 3.44 ERA appears impressive, his 5.26 xFIP and 5.11 SIERA disagree. Peterson benefited from a .233 BABIP, which helped to offset a bloated 11.7 BB%. The lefty's strikeouts have been inconsistent, with last season's 19.5% mark being low in today's landscape. Peterson should have an Opening Day spot in the Mets' revamped rotation. His minor-league history portends an improved walk rate, but he'll need to miss more bats to fend off impending ERA correction. Consider Peterson in formats conducive to streaming as Citi Field is the league's best pitching venue.
