New York Mets SPs Bartolo Colon, Dillon Gee and Zack Wheeler will pitch against the San Diego Padres in next weekend's series, which begins Friday, July 18. Manager Terry Collins has not determined the rest of the rotation, but said SP Jacob deGrom will remain in the starting rotation.

Fantasy Tip: Jon Niese's health will influence the backend of the rotation going forward. However, it appears Daisuke Matsuzaka will lose his spot when Niese returns. deGrom's value stabilizes, and he is emerging as a viable option in mixed leagues.

New York Mets SP Zack Wheeler has been working lately to improve the command of his slider, because he had been getting "under" the ball with his fingers and hadn't been able to locate the pitch for a strike in his previous outings. In his start Thursday, May 29, he had the slider under control, and he struck out nine in 6 1/3 innings. Wheeler also focused on being less predictable, no longer throwing fastballs in fastball counts.

New York Mets SP Zack Wheeler said his goal is to slow things down on the mound this year after he had a tendency to rush his body while delivering pitches in his rookie season. He also said that reports of him tipping his pitches after he was called up last year were inaccurate. Wheeler is hoping he'll receive the nod on Opening Day this year.
