Jose Butto Set to Start for Mets Against Royals on Sunday

Butto returns to the rotation following strong performances, aiming to solidify his position.

Jose Butto will start for the New York Mets against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, marking his return to the MLB roster.
Butto's previous outing as the 27th man helped the Mets secure their first win of the season, pitching six innings with only one earned run.
The decision comes after Julio Teheran's departure and ongoing injuries within the Mets' rotation, including Tylor Megill and Kodai Senga.
Butto, who had a strong spring training, aims to prove his long-term value to the team amid a series of high-profile injuries.
The game coincides with the Mets retiring Dwight Gooden's No. 16, adding significant historical context to Butto's start.
