The Mets are a club in organizational freefall. New York fired Carlos Mendoza earlier this month with the team at 34-47, and Andy Green — who went 274-366 with San Diego from 2016 to 2019 and hadn't managed in the majors since — took over as interim. Whatever bump a managerial change is supposed to provide hasn't arrived yet. The Mets went 1-4 in their last 5 games before this road trip, their lone win squeezed between losses to the Cubs and Phillies. The Blue Jays had their own rough stretch — getting swept in 4 at home by Texas dropped them to 39-44 — before last night's 2-1 win stopped the bleeding.

The Mets' injury list compounds everything. Marcus Semien just received a Grade 3 hip flexor diagnosis and is out at least 4 to 6 weeks. Luis Robert Jr. started a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse, but he's not a factor here. Toronto has its own problems — Jose Berrios had Tommy John surgery and is done for the year, Max Scherzer is working through a 15-day IL stint for a back issue, and Bowden Francis is also on the 60-day IL. Gausman is holding this rotation together essentially alone. McLean's walk tendencies (multiple free passes in each of his last 6 starts) could give Toronto extra baserunners to work with, but the Mets need to take advantage of a Gausman who has looked nothing like himself all month if they're going to turn Tuesday night around.
