NEW YORK -- Trying to make a push in the crowded NL playoff race, the New York Mets plan to skip struggling right-hander Jacob deGrom the next time through the rotation.The team said it hadnt decided who will start in deGroms place Monday night against Miami, another club in the wild-card hunt. New York manager Terry Collins rattled off five potential candidates Friday: Sean Gilmartin, Seth Lugo, Logan Verrett, Gabriel Ynoa and Rafael Montero.The latter three are in the minors. Lugo, who earned his first major league win Thursday night at St. Louis, would have only three days of rest after throwing 82 pitches against the Cardinals. He exited with cramping in his right calf but was fine by Friday, the Mets said.The 2014 NL Rookie of the Year, deGrom is 7-7 with a 2.96 ERA in 143 innings. He had been on an extended roll, lowering his ERA to 2.29, before getting rocked for 13 runs and 25 hits over 9 2/3 innings in his last two outings, against San Francisco and St. Louis.Of course I want to be out there, but these past few I havent helped the team very much, so if thats in the best interest, then thats the plan we just have to go with, deGrom said. I want to be out there, but I think this is going to help me in the long run.The Mets pointed out that deGrom has responded well to time off in the past and they think a brief break will help him correct a mechanical flaw theyve discovered in his delivery.Falling over towards the first base side again. Arm slots 2 inches higher and 2 inches more toward first, so that tells me Im falling off that way, he said. That makes my stuff flat in the zone. I battled it early this year; I felt like I got it right. I dont know if I was just tryying to do too much out there and started leaning back a little bit or what.ddddddddddddI think were going back to the drawing board and try to get it where I need it to be, deGrom added. Ive been battling it all year. So, I hope this is an easy fix, but well try to get it right in these next few days.Still, the move was somewhat surprising considering the defending NL champions already were piecing together the back end of a banged-up rotation.Steven Matz, sidelined with tightness in his pitching shoulder, was scheduled to toss on the side Friday and general manager Sandy Alderson said he was unsure if the lefty would be ready to start Tuesday, the first day hes eligible to come off the disabled list.Matt Harvey is out for the season following thoracic outlet syndrome surgery, and right-hander Robert Gsellman is slated to make his first major league start Sunday against the Phillies.In other news, second baseman Neil Walker was activated from the paternity leave list and batted cleanup against Philadelphia in the opener of a 10-game homestand. Walker and his wife, Niki, welcomed a baby girl named Nora on Tuesday.To open a roster spot, New York optioned infielder T.J. Rivera to Triple-A Las Vegas.Right fielder Jay Bruce was back in the lineup after missing Thursday nights victory in St. Louis. Bruce left Wednesday nights game with cramping in his right calf.Collins said the Mets wanted to put Bruce through some pregame drills Friday to make sure he was healthy enough to play. Bruce struck out four straight times, drawing boos from the home crowd. ' ' '
