JUPITER, Fla. — The Mets have mostly avoided injuries so far this spring, but they got a scare when David Peterson took a comebacker off his left foot during his appearance in a 15-4 exhibition win…
The left-hander finished the inning, but reported soreness afterward and was sent back to Port St. Lucie for an X-ray.
The 27-year-old got the out on the play, recovering well enough to chase down the ball and throw out Nick Fortes and faced two more batters to complete the inning. “It’s new for him, but it’s still pitching,’’ Showalter said before the game Saturday. “It’s still baseball, it’s still hitters trying to do damage. I think once he gets into the heat of pitching, he’ll be in his element. I’ll feel better answering it after it’s over and we see what’s going on.”
He was anticipating the challenge of “throwing to actual hitters, not the Mets’ hitters, so it’s something I really look forward to.”“We’ll be looking for what might help him,” Showalter said. “It’s gonna be good for us, since we’re learning, too. I think we’re all looking forward to getting the first one out of the way. He has pitched here [in spring] already, just not in a game with a team wearing a different uniform.
