2024 Fantasy Outlook
Peterson was needed for 27 appearances (21 starts) for the Mets last season as the team battled numerous injury issues in their rotation. On the positive side, Peterson struck out 128 batters across his 111 innings, marking the second year in a row he's fanned well over a batter per frame. On the negative side, Peterson also had a walk rate over 10 percent for the second straight year and wound up finishing with an ERA over 5.00. The left-hander underwent left hip surgery in early November and a rough timetable has him returning around June. Pitchers that can miss bats and get groundballs like Peterson are usually ones you want to bet on. The southpaw has yet to throw strikes consistently in the big leagues, though, and isn't necessarily guaranteed a rotation spot once healthy. Read Past Outlooks
RANKSFrom Preseason
Throwing bullpen sessions
Peterson (hip) began throwing bullpen sessions in March and is hopeful to return from the 60-day injured list when first eligible May 27, MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After undergoing surgery Nov. 6 to repair a torn labrum in his left hip, Peterson was projected to require 6-to-7 months of recovery time, so the Mets felt comfortable stashing him on the 60-day IL to begin the season to clear up a 40-man roster spot for another player. Peterson won't be ready to pitch in games at any point this spring, but he seems to be making steady progress in his recovery from hip surgery. Now that he's reached the point in his rehab where he's throwing bullpen sessions, Peterson could soon face hitters in live batting practice sessions and simulated games. After that, Peterson would then likely be sent out on an extended minor-league rehab assignment as he looks to build back up to a starter's workload.

Peterson had middling results in 15 starts for the Mets in 2021, but he was much better as a swingman last season with a 3.83 ERA across 105.1 innings. The lefty started in 19 of his 28 appearances and was effective in both roles. He added a tick to his fastball and more heavily mixed in his off-speed pitches, which helped lead to a 27.8 percent strikeout rate. New York is looking to bolster its rotation during the offseason -- whether it's by re-signing Jacob deGrom or bringing in a new face remains to be seen -- but Peterson pitched well last year and should have a chance to lock down a rotation spot during spring training. He has yet to show he can produce consistently year-to-year but is trending toward fantasy utility after a strong 2022.
