NYM: Joey Lucchesi (#47, 30, LHP, 1-0, 2.19)
AP Sports: "Carlos Carrasco could return to the New York Mets next week, potentially making whole a rotation that has been ravaged by injuries this season. Carrasco, who has been sidelined since April 16 because of right elbow inflammation, began throwing last week. Manager Buck Showalter said the 36-year-old was '… kind of semi-penciled' in for the rotation cycle the Mets will begin Saturday."
Joel Sherman NY Post: Mets can look to rival Braves as role models in middling start. "...Mets off to a 13-game stretch against the Tigers, Rockies, Reds and Nationals, who had four of the majors’ nine worst records and were a combined 41-70 going into Monday.

Transactions:
New York Mets released Ray Sadecki on May 2, 1977.
New York Mets signed free agent Juan Castillo on May 2, 1988.
Mets Games Played On This Date: May 2nd: "The Noah Syndergaard 1-0 HR game, a great relief outing from Pete Falcone, a 2 hit shut-out by Al Jackson."
1968 | Mets hitter Bud Harrelson becomes the first batter in baseball history to gain a 3-0 ball-strike count advantage from the on-deck circle when umpire Ed Vargo penalizes Phillies reliever John Boozer for going to his mouth inside the 18-foot circle of the mound. Philadelphia manager Gene Mauch, incensed about the ball one call, orders his pitcher to do it again for ball two, and then again for ball three, which promptly gets his right-hander and himself thrown out of the game, a 3-0 loss to New York at Shea Stadium. |
1983 | Jose Oquendo makes his major league debut, grounding into a force out as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning of a 3-2 loss to Houston. The 19 year-old rookie shortstop, born on July 4, 1963, is the first person to play for the Mets who is younger than the franchise, which started in 1962. |
2008 | Jose Reyes is thrown out at home plate in an unusual attempt to complete the cycle with an inside-the-park homer. The shortstop's four hits pace the Mets' 7-2 win over the Diamondbacks, the club's 14th victory in the last 15 games played against Arizona at Chase Field. |
1987: After having missed spring training and the first month of the season because of collusion, Montreal Expos outfielder Tim Raines debuts by going 4 for 5, including a 10th-inning grand slam, in an 11 - 7 win over the New York Mets.
2010: The Phillies take over first place in the NL East by beating Mets ace Johan Santana like a rag doll. Santana gives up 10 runs, including 8 in the 4th inning, which he fails to complete. With the Mets leading 5 - 3, he issues a two-out bases-loaded walks to his opposite, Jamie Moyer, then Shane Victorino blasts a grand slam to open the floodgates. Chase Utley adds a two-run shot to chase Santana; Placido Polanco and Ryan Howard had homered earlier against him. The Phillies win, 11 - 5.
2019: Noah Syndergaard of the Mets pitches a complete game shutout and also homers off Tyler Mahle for the game's only run as he defeats the Reds, 1 - 0. The last player to have managed that particular feat had been Bob Welch, back in 1983.
