Adrian Houser originally got moved into the bullpen since the Mets had little selection, aside from to dump the struggling right-hander from the roster.
Within the six weeks since that change, Houser appears to have eliminated the problems that caused his early-season trouble. His velocity has increased. Walks have decreased.
In Houser’s ideal world, he already would have returned to starting. That likely isn’t happening.
Not only are the Mets covered within the rotation, but Houser has change into too beneficial in his recent role to think about moving, notwithstanding Thursday’s outing through which he surrendered the go-ahead eighth-inning home run to the Nationals’ Jesse Winker.
