Aaron Laffey is scheduled to start the second game of Tuesday's split-doubleheader against the Rockies.
There was some speculation that the Mets would skip Laffey following two straight postponements, but they'll stick with their regular rotation order. Of course, things could change if any of Tuesday's games are wiped out due to the weather.

Aaron Laffey won't make his next start until next Tuesday against the Rockies.
The Mets have an off-day Thursday, which will enable them to go with Jonathon Niese, Matt Harvey and Dillon Gee this weekend against the Twins. Laffey gave up three runs on 10 hits and a walk over 4 1/3 innings Sunday against the Marlins and should get a few more chances since Shaun Marcum (neck) isn't close to returning from the disabled list. He isn't worth owning in fantasy leagues, though.

Aaron Laffey escaped with a no-decision Sunday despite allowing three runs on 10 hits and a walk over 4 1/3 innings in a 4-3 victory over the Marlins.
Laffey did manage to strike out five, but the soft-tosser was hit early and often in this one. With Shaun Marcum likely to miss at least a couple more starts, Laffey should get at least one more shot. It's likely to come next weekend in Minnesota.

Aaron Laffey, who has worked exclusively out of the Mets bullpen this spring, will be stretched out and given a start in a Grapefruit League contest next week.
The idea behind it, is to give the team an insurance policy in the event that Johan Santana isn't ready for the start of the regular season. Of his 22 appearances with the Blue Jays in 2012, Laffey made 16 starts and posted a 4.56 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 48/37 K/BB ratio in 100 2/3 innings. His fantasy value is extremely limited.

Mets signed LHP Aaron Laffey to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Laffey posted a 4.56 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 100 2/3 innings this past season for the Blue Jays. The 27-year-old southpaw could open the 2013 season in the Mets' rotation but seems doubtful to carry any fantasy value.

Aaron Laffey has opted to become a free agent.
Laffey registered a 4.56 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 100 2/3 innings this season with the Blue Jays. He'll presumably be in search of a one-year major league contract.

Blue Jays released LHP Aaron Laffey.
Bobby Korecky and Shawn Hill were also released. Laffey posted a 4.56 ERA and 48/37 K/BB ratio over 100 2/3 innings with the Jays this season. He was likely to be non-tendered anyway, so the Jays just got the move out of the way early.

Aaron Laffey struggled in his final start Monday but left with a no-decision, allowing four runs -- three earned -- over five innings in a 6-5 win over the Twins.
Laffey allowed eight hits, and didn't strike out or walk anyone. The left-hander admitted after his last outing to being fatigued, and he wasn't super sharp in this one. The left-hander split time between the rotation and bullpen this season and wound up with a 4.56 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over 100 2/3 innings.

Aaron Laffey is expected to make one more start despite dealing with fatigue.
Laffey tossed 5 2/3 shutout innings Tuesday but admitted afterwards that he was "pitching on fumes." He's thrown 100 more innings this year than he did in 2011. "He's a little stiff, and that's to be expected," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. "He's kind of beat up a little bit in general physically, not any one specific area. [It's] not unexpected by any means, but we'll take every precautionary measure, every treatment available to him and see how he responds over the next couple of days and we'll determine his next time out." If Laffey is unable to take the ball again, Shawn Hill is likely to get a start.

Aaron Laffey pitched well in Tuesday's victory over the Orioles, scattering five hits over 5 2/3 shutout innings.
Laffey didn't walk a batter in the game, though he also failed to record a strikeout. All five hits that he surrendered were singles, and the Orioles struggled to mount any actual scoring threats against him. He'll take a 4-6 record and 4.52 ERA into his final start of the season against the Twins at home on Monday.
