Peterson will undergo surgery to repair his broken right pinky toe, which could potentially end his season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson was working his way back from an oblique strain when he fractured his toe. The Mets haven't officially shut him down for the season, but the foot surgery typically requires six to eight weeks to recover from. That takes him to at least the start of September, at which point he'll still have to go through a throwing program. If he returns at all, he may do so as a reliever, given that he might not have time to build back up to a starter's workload.

Peterson was transferred to the 60-day IL due to a fractured right pinky toe, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty landed on the 10-day IL on July 2 with an oblique strain, but now the toe fracture will demand a more extended absence. It's unclear whether Peterson's oblique Is healed and he's only out due to the toe, or if he's still dealing with both injuries. More details about his health and a possible return timeline should become available in the next couple weeks.

Peterson (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson has been sidelined since July 2 due to an oblique strain, but he's been participating in a throwing program recently and is nearing his return to mound work. However, the southpaw will now be sidelined until early September following his shift to the 60-day IL. The move clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for Mark Payton, who was acquired from the Reds on Saturday.

Mets manager Luis Rojas said Tuesday that Peterson (oblique) could start throwing off a mound as soon as this weekend, but the lefty remains "weeks away" from returning from the 10-day injured list, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson resumed playing catch shortly before the All-Star break and will likely continue to stretch out his throwing distance for at least a few more days before stepping on a mound. Once that happens, he'll still likely need at least two weeks to fully ramp up for starting duty, making it difficult at this point to gauge a target date for his return. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on Peterson pitching for the Mets any earlier than mid-August.

Peterson (oblique) played catch Sunday for the first time since his injury, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson has been sidelined since June 30 and has taken his first step towards a return to the mound. He's still expected to be sidelined for quite some time however, as he was originally projected to miss just shy of eight weeks.

Peterson was diagnosed with an oblique strain Saturday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson was placed on the 10-day injured list with what was initially described as right side soreness, but he's apparently dealing with an oblique issue. Manager Luis Rojas said that the severity is between Grade 1 and Grade 2, and the injury typically carries a recovery timetable of up to eight weeks. While the team's medical staff is optimistic that Peterson could return sooner than that, he'll likely miss extended time due to the injury.

Peterson (side) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander was pulled from Wednesday's start versus Atlanta with soreness in his right side, and the severity of the injury remains unclear. Peterson will be eligible to return July 11, the last day before the All-Star break, though it's more likely he won't return until after the midseason festivities since that lines up as Jacob deGrom's turn through the rotation.

Mets manager Luis Rojas said Thursday that Peterson (side) won't make his next start, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson was removed from Wednesday's start against Atlanta in the top of the fourth inning with right side soreness, and he's still experiencing tightness Thursday. He'll undergo further evaluations once the team returns to New York this weekend, but he'll miss at least one turn through the rotation and could require a trip to the injured list as a result. Rojas said that Corey Oswalt and Thomas Szapucki are candidates to start in Peterson's place, according to DiComo.

Peterson left his Wednesday start against Atlanta in the top of the fourth inning with right side soreness, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports. He struck out two while being charged with six runs (five earned) on eight hits and one walk across three-plus innings.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson wasn't sharp from the start of the game, allowing two runs in the first inning before allowing two more in the third. He departed with the injury after allowing a double and single to start the fourth and it was reported soon after that he was dealing with soreness in his right side. He'll be further evaluated before the Mets reveal the severity of the injury and he can be considered questionable to make his next start.

Peterson allowed a run on three hits and two walks over six innings in a loss to the Phillies in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson cruised through five innings of scoreless baseball before serving up a solo shot to Bryce Harper in the sixth. It was his third straight outing giving up fewer than two runs, lowering his season ERA to 4.95 through 63.2 innings. He'll carry a 67:28 K:BB into next week's projected start in Atlanta.
