Carlos Mendoza Tabs Freddy Peralta as Mets’ Opening Day Starter

Mets manager Mendoza said Peralta will start Opening Day, per Underdog MLB. The right-hander arrived from Milwaukee as David Stearns rebuilt the rotation, coming off a 2.70 ERA across 33 starts in 2025. The Mets open on March 26, and Peralta’s spring buildup now points to that Game 1 assignment. He skipped the WBC to stay in camp.
