Wheeler's injury puts Gee back in Mets' starting rotation (Yahoo Sports)

[ASFN Admin]

This wasn't how Dillon Gee wanted to regain a spot in the New York Mets' rotation. New York's opening-day starter last year, Gee was slated for a bullpen role before Zack Wheeler was diagnosed with a torn elbow ligament that likely will sideline him until 2016. Mets manager Terry Collins said Gee will take Wheeler's spot in the rotation and pitching coach Dan Warthen told Gee to start getting his arm stretched out as a starter. The Mets considered trade options during the offseason but opted to keep him and planned to use a rotation of Matt Harvey, Wheeler, Jacob deGrom, Bartolo Colon and Jon Niese.
