Mets’ David Peterson scratched from scheduled start but is not injured

CHICAGO — The Mets desperately need a win, and scuffling David Peterson isn’t viewed as the best option to help deliver it.

Peterson was removed from his scheduled Sunday start against the Cubs, with the team announcing Saturday night that Tobias Myers will start instead.

The Mets have lost 10 straight games, the franchise’s longest losing streak since 2004.

The lefty last pitched on Monday against the Dodgers and allowed four early runs. Peterson owns a 6.41 ERA in four starts.

Myers stretched out as a starter in spring training and has been used in long relief to begin the season.

Myers, who has pitched to a 3.64 ERA in six relief appearances, was last used on Wednesday when he allowed one earned run over two innings.
