NEW YORK -- New York Mets manager Terry Collins confirmed the team's rotation for the final road trip of the season. After Bartolo Colon pitches Wednesday's homestand finale against the Atlanta Braves, here is how things line up:
At Cincinnati
Thursday: Steven Matz
Friday: Noah Syndergaard
Saturday: Matt Harvey
Sunday: Jacob deGrom
At Philadelphia
Tuesday: Jonathon Niese
Wednesday: Colon
Thursday: Matz
That, of course, lines up Syndergaard, Harvey and deGrom to face the Washington Nationals during the final series of the season if those games are meaningful.
Harvey's outing in Cincinnati is expected to be abbreviated -- perhaps even shorter than the five innings he went in his Sunday start against the New York Yankees. DeGrom, who was skipped on Tuesday night, will be pitching for the first time since Sept. 15 when he takes the mound in Cincinnati.
