Settles in after rough first inning
Blackburn (0-1) was saddled with the loss Wednesday against Atlanta, giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out two.
Analysis
Blackburn wasn't fully stretched out in his second start of the season, as he was pulled after throwing 73 pitches, but he managed to settle in following Atlanta's three-run first frame. The Mets will likely need the veteran right-hander for at least one more start, with Kodai Senga (hamstring), Sean Manaea (oblique) and Frankie Montas (lat) all still sitting on the injured list. Blackburn's next turn in the Mets' rotation lines up for a rematch versus Atlanta next week, when he'll carry a 6.94 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB through his first 13 innings of the year.

Makes brief relief appearance
Blackburn retired one batter and was charged with four earned runs on four hits in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Rays.
Analysis
Prior to the contest, manager Carlos Mendoza told Mike Puma of the New York Post that Blackburn would enter the rotation Wednesday in Atlanta in place of the injured Kodai Senga (hamstring), but the Mets still elected to make Blackburn available out of the bullpen for one more game. He replaced starter Clay Holmes to begin the sixth inning and promptly squandered the Mets' 5-1 lead. Despite the poor showing, Blackburn's rotation spot appears safe for at least one turn after Frankie Montas (lat) had a rough rehab start at Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, but the fact that the duo are on the same schedule means a switch could happen at any time.

Will enter rotation
Blackburn will step into the rotation and start Wednesday's game against Atlanta in place of Kodai Senga (hamstring), Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Analysis
Senga was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, opening a spot in the rotation for Blackburn, who could be in line for multiple starts while the Mets wait for Frankie Montas (lat) and Sean Manaea (oblique) to return from the 60-day IL. After a lengthy IL stint of his own to start 2025, Blackburn has pitched nine innings in his two MLB appearances, allowing three runs on 10 hits and two walks with six strikeouts. He threw 71 pitches in his most recent outing.

Could move into rotation
Blackburn is the top option on the Mets' 26-man roster to replace Kodai Senga (hamstring) in the rotation, Will Sammon of the Athletic reports.
Analysis
Blackburn missed the first two-plus months of the season due to knee trouble, but the veteran right-hander has been impressive since coming off the IL, blanking the Dodgers over five innings in a spot start for his 2025 debut June 2 before recording his first career save in a long-relief stint against the Rockies on June 8. He worked over 70 pitches in both appearances, so length wouldn't be an issue if he shifts back into the rotation. The Mets will wait and see how Frankie Montas (lat) looks in his rehab start Friday before making any decisions on who will take Senga's next turn, however.
