Cincinnati vs New York Mets Probable Pitchers
The Reds are planning to select right-hander TJ Zeuch and activate him to pitch on Wednesday afternoon against the Mets. Although he’s not currently on the 40-man roster, Zeuch is with the team in New York and the Reds have an available place to add him. Then all they’ll need to do is clear space for Zeuch on the active roster.
A 2016 first-round pick of the Toronto Blue Jays, Zeuch was with the St Louis Cardinals Triple-A club this season. He was recently designated for assignment after posting an 11.64 ERA. The Reds put in a claim for Zeuch.

He most recently pitched in MLB in 2021 with the Blue Jays. Zeuch made five appearances, including three starts and was 0-2 with a 6.60 ERA.
Zeuch has never previously faced the Mets. He’s 1-2 with a 5.00 ERA in five day-game appearances, including three starts.

Mets right-hander Taijuan Walker is enjoying his best MLB season in terms of winning percentage (.750). He’s two shy of his career-best 11 wins posted in 2015 with the Seattle Mariners. He and Zeuch were both members of the 2020 Blue Jays.
However, Walker was shelled in his last start. The Atlanta Braves tagged the Mets righty for eight earned runs and seven hits, including two home runs, in just an inning of work. Walker took the loss in a 9-3 setback. It was his first defeat since June 7, ending a six-game winning streak.

Walker has allowed five home runs over his last 12.2 innings on the mound. He’d surrendered just one long ball over his previous 36 innings of work.
Walker is 1-1 with a 6.55 ERA in two career starts against the Reds. He beat Cincinnati 7-4 on July 4.
