In his own words, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns is “frankly never really concerned about having too much” starting pitching, because he’s been around long enough to know there’s no such thing.

After being traded to the Milwaukee Brewers at the trade deadline last season, Montas was mostly effective. He allowed three or fewer runs in eight of 11 starts and increased his strikeout percentage from 18.9% with the Cincinnati Reds to 28.6% with the Brewers.

The Mets are sending Megill (5-4) to the mound for his 14th start of the season.

However, it's hard not to call Kodai Senga an ace, given that his 1.47 ERA is the best in all of baseball right now. But in that case, it initially seemed like the Mets might be without their ace for some time after Senga suffered a hamstring strain while covering first base in the sixth inning of the Mets' June 12 game against the Washington Nationals.

On Saturday, the Brewers announced that both Garrett Mitchell and Blake Perkins has begun rehab assignments with the ACL Brewers.

Some speculated whether he would have to undergo surgery, but his recovery has seemed to go smoothly which puts him in position to make his season debut at Yankee Stadium.
