Morning News: Granderson, Montero, deGrom

Last night, the Mets (18-19) defeated the Yankees (19-18) by the score of 9-7. Tonight, Zack Wheeler (1-4, 4.35 ERA) gets the nod for the Mets in game two of the subway series. Below are the headlines heading into this Tuesday afternoon:


Curtis Granderson hit a two run home run last night and was 2 for 5 overall. Curtis is hitting over .300 in May with 3 home runs and nine RBI after an April which saw him him .130 with 1 home run and 7 RBI.

Rafael Montero has been called up to replace Jenrry Mejia in the starting rotation. Montero will start Wednesday's game at Citi Field, opposing Masahiro Tanaka. Jenrry Mejia has been moved to the bullpen.

Another top Met prospect, Jacob deGrom, has been been called up to replace Gonzalez German in the bullpen. German went on the DL late Monday night with a virus. There is no telling how long deGrom will be in the big leagues, or how long German will be on the disabled list, but I am guessing they are just testing the waters with deGrom.
