The Mets will send four players to Atlanta for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game after all.
MLB announced Wednesday that Mets southpaw David Peterson will join the All-Star Game roster as a reserve pitcher, taking the place of Giants starter Robbie Ray.
It’s the first time Peterson has been named to the All-Star Game but it’s well-deserved in what is becoming a career year for the 29-year-old. Including Wednesday’s performance against the Orioles, Peterson has pitched to a 6-4 record and a 3.06 ERA.
Peterson will join NL All-Star Game starter Francisco Lindor and reserves Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz in Atlanta next week. This will be the second season in four years that the Mets have had at least four participants in the All-Star Game. The other was the 2022 Mets team that sent Alonso, Diaz, Starling Marte and Jeff McNeil.
