On the mound
Marlins RHP Elieser Hernandez (0-0, 2.25 ERA, 1.250 WHIP) vs. Mets LHP Jason Vargas (0-3, 13.86 ERA, 2.676 WHIP): Hernandez will make his second career major-league start on Monday night when he faces the Mets in New York. Hernandez, a Rule 5 pick of the Marlins from Houston, completed five innings and allowed one run in his first major-league start on Wednesday against the Dodgers. Prior to this season, Hernandez had never pitched above High-A in the minor leagues. In order for the Marlins to keep Hernandez, he must be on the major-league roster (or disabled list) for the entire season or be returned to the Astros. … Vargas was one of the Mets' marquee offseason free-agent signings (two-year contract worth $16 million), but has struggled tremendously this season. In games Vargas has started, the Mets are 0-3 and have been outscored 30-4. The team skipped Vargas' previous turn in the rotation and Monday night will be his first start since May 8.
Tuesday — Marlins LHP Caleb Smith vs. Mets RHP Zach Wheeler; Wednesday — Marlins RHP Dan Straily vs. Mets RHP Jacob deGrom; Thursday — Off
Friday-Sunday vs. Nationals; May 28-31 at Padres; June 1-3 at Diamondbacks.
