Takes second straight loss Blackburn (0-2) yielded three runs on six hits and three walks over 4.2 innings Monday, striking out five and taking a loss against Atlanta.
Impact Blackburn gave up a run in the second inning, followed by two in the third, including a solo shot by Ronald Acuna. It was Blackburn's second straight loss and he failed to complete five innings in either of those outings. After tossing five scoreless frames in his season debut, he's been tagged with 14 runs (13 earned) over his last 12.2 innings, resulting in a 6.62 ERA. On the bright side, he generated a season-high 14 whiffs Monday. Blackburn is currently slated to take the mound in Pittsburgh this weekend.

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.
Impact 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.
Impact 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. He allowed three consecutive base hits to kick off the frame, then induced a popout before Jake Mangum rapped out a two-run single. Blackburn was then pulled from the contest in favor of Max Kranick, who allowed both of the baserunners he inherited to score. Despite the poor showing from Blackburn, the Mets likely won't deviate from their plan to have him start Wednesday. Blackburn had previously built up to 71 pitches in a relief appearance last Sunday in Colorado and should be stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload.

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.
Impact Kodai Senga was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, opening a spot in the rotation for Blackburn on Wednesday with the potential for several starts, depending on when Frankie Montas (lat) is ready to go. After a lengthy IL stint 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.

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.
Impact 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.
JUNE 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
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.
Impact 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.

Notches four-inning save Blackburn gave up three runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings Sunday to record his first career save in a rout of the Rockies.
Impact The veteran righty took the mound to begin the sixth inning with the Mets ahead 7-2, and they only extended their lead from there. Blackburn tossed 71 pitches (47 strikes) in his second appearance of the season, which will likely leave him unavailable for long-relief duties during a three-game set against the Nationals to begin the current week.
