Freddy Peralta scratched from start with Mets trade likely coming
July 31, 2026

In all likelihood Freddy Peralta has thrown his final pitch with the Mets, who are protecting their trade-deadline bait.
Scheduled to start Friday at Citi Field against the Marlins, Peralta has been scratched, a source confirmed, which will ensure he does not suffer an injury that would harm his value.
And he is expected to have value despite the results from what has been a disappointing four months in Queens, pitching to a 4.99 ERA in 22 games and part of the reason the Mets will be deadline sellers.
