Lucchesi will start for Mets on Wednesday
MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reports Joey Lucchesi will start on Wednesday against the Phillies. Lucchesi will take the ball for a spot start in place of Adrian Houser, who wound up being scratched from his scheduled outing after warming up in the event that he was needed during the late stages of Tuesday’s contest. The 30-year-old southpaw will be making his season debut after posting a 2.58 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 28/16 K/BB ratio across 38 1/3 innings (seven starts) for Triple-A Syracuse.
Realmuto to return to lineup tonight
Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters J.T. Realmuto (knee) will return to the lineup on Wednesday. Realmuto sat out Tuesday’s showdown against the Mets at Citi Field due to an ongoing right knee issue, but it sounds like he’ll be ready to go for Wednesday’s matchup, barring something unexpected.
