2025 Fantasy Outlook
Peterson didn't make his 2024 debut until late May after recovering from offseason hip surgery. He wound up being a key piece in the rotation for a Mets team that made it to the NLCS, and the left-hander was particularly good down the stretch with a 2.41 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 58:20 K:BB over 67.1 frames during the final two months of the regular season. Like many pitchers on the Mets staff last season, Peterson embraced the sinker, using it as his fastball of choice for the first time in his career. While he sported a 50.1 percent ground ball rate, Peterson also watched his strikeout rate plummet from 26 percent to 19.8 percent. His velocity was fine, and Peterson can still be quite effective with a high ground ball rate if he can just get the strikeout rate back to even a league-average level. That said, with such a large gap between his xERA (4.59) and actual ERA (2.90), some level of regression from the southpaw looks to be a safe bet. Read Past Outlooks
Shines in win over Dodgers
Peterson (3-2) earned the victory over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 7.2 innings.
ANALYSIS
Peterson fell behind 2-0 in the second inning but didn't give up another run for the remainder of his outing. The southpaw completed a season-high 7.2 frames (in fact, this was the first time all year he's pitched more than six innings) and recorded his fourth straight quality start. Peterson's past two outings have been particularly impressive given the quality of opponent -- he's yielded just three earned runs over 13.2 frames versus the Yankees and Dodgers. The veteran hurler has been a key part of the Mets' rotation this year, posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 54:22 K:BB through 58 innings. Peterson's next start is projected to be much less intimidating on paper than his past two, as he's lined up to face the Rockies at home next weekend.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2021
2020
2019
2018
Peterson was needed for 27 appearances (21 starts) for the Mets last season as the team battled numerous injury issues in their rotation. On the positive side, Peterson struck out 128 batters across his 111 innings, marking the second year in a row he's fanned well over a batter per frame. On the negative side, Peterson also had a walk rate over 10 percent for the second straight year and wound up finishing with an ERA over 5.00. The left-hander underwent left hip surgery in early November and a rough timetable has him returning around June. Pitchers that can miss bats and get groundballs like Peterson are usually ones you want to bet on. The southpaw has yet to throw strikes consistently in the big leagues, though, and isn't necessarily guaranteed a rotation spot once healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Rotation spot likely secured
Peterson's place in the Mets' starting rotation is likely secure since more than 800 innings from the 2024 pitching staff is no longer on the team, reports Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
New York could still re-sign Jose Quintana, Luis Severino or Sean Manaea -- and the Mets actually extended the qualifying offer to the latter two pitchers -- but the fact remains that Peterson and Kodai Senga are the only two clear-cut rotation pieces that are healthy and currently on the roster. Peterson made 21 starts during the 2024 regular season and had a 2.90 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 101:46 K:BB across 121 innings.
