Mets pitcher Carlos Torres is the likely candidate to fill the rotation spot vacated by Shaun Marcum, who will miss the remainder of the year due to injury.
Torres has made eight relief appearances since joining the team in mid-June, allowing one earned run on eight hits and two walks in 13 2/3 innings while striking out 12. He was 6-3 with a 3.89 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 67:19 K:BB ratio for Triple-A Las Vegas before his promotion.
