When the PHE ends, the benefit will not disappear right away.Employees can still use PHE leave for another four weeks after bot...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:21:24 GMT

DETROIT — For the third time in four days, the Mets are underwater.After two postponements over the weekend in New York, the Mets went to Detroit hoping for better weather. But with rain and possibly even snow in the forecast, the first game of the three-game set at Comerica Park was postponed. The two teams will play a split doubleheader Wednesday with the first game starting at 1:40 p.m. and the second at 6:40 p.m.The last thing the Mets wanted or needed was a doubleheader after playing one Monday. The bullpen is thin after having to cobble together more than eight innings of relief in the first game against the Atlanta Braves on Monday and they needed three to get through the second game.If their starters can go deep on Wednesday, it would alleviate the pressure on the bullpen. Joey Lucchesi is lined up to start the first game and Max Scherzer will start the second.This week will mark the returns of Scherzer and Justin Verlander. Scherzer hasn’t pitched since April 19...
