NEW YORK -- Trying to make a push in the crowded NL playoff race, the New York Mets plan to skip struggling right-hander Jacob deGrom the next time through the rotation.The team said it hadnt decided who will start in deGroms place Monday night against Miami, another club in the wild-card hunt. New York manager Terry Collins rattled off five potential candidates Friday: Sean Gilmartin, Seth Lugo, Logan Verrett, Gabriel Ynoa and Rafael Montero.The latter three are in the minors. Lugo, who earned his first major league win Thursday night at St. Louis, would have only three days of rest after throwing 82 pitches against the Cardinals. He exited with cramping in his right calf but was fine by Friday, the Mets said.The 2014 NL Rookie of the Year, deGrom is 7-7 with a 2.96 ERA in 143 innings. He had been on an extended roll, lowering his ERA to 2.29, before getting rocked for 13 runs and 25 hits over 9 2/3 innings in his last two outings, against San Francisco and St. Louis.Of course I want to be out there, but these past few I havent helped the team very much, so if thats in the best interest, then thats the plan we just have to go with, deGrom said. I want to be out there, but I think this is going to help me in the long run.The Mets pointed out that deGrom has responded well to time off in the past and they think a brief break will help him correct a mechanical flaw theyve discovered in his delivery.Falling over towards the first base side again. Arm slots 2 inches higher and 2 inches more toward first, so that tells me Im falling off that way, he said. That makes my stuff flat in the zone. I battled it early this year; I felt like I got it right. I dont know if I was just trying to do too much out there and started leaning back a little bit or what.I think were going back to the drawing board and try to get it where I need it to be, deGrom added. Ive been battling it all year. So, I hope this is an easy fix, but well try to get it right in these next few days.Still, the move was somewhat surprising considering the defending NL champions already were piecing together the back end of a banged-up rotation.Steven Matz, sidelined with tightness in his pitching shoulder, was scheduled to toss on the side Friday and general manager Sandy Alderson said he was unsure if the lefty would be ready to start Tuesday, the first day hes eligible to come off the disabled list.Matt Harvey is out for the season following thoracic outlet syndrome surgery, and right-hander Robert Gsellman is slated to make his first major league start Sunday against the Phillies.In other news, second baseman Neil Walker was activated from the paternity leave list and batted cleanup against Philadelphia in the opener of a 10-game homestand. Walker and his wife, Niki, welcomed a baby girl named Nora on Tuesday.To open a roster spot, New York optioned infielder T.J. Rivera to Triple-A Las Vegas.Right fielder Jay Bruce was back in the lineup after missing Thursday nights victory in St. Louis. Bruce left Wednesday nights game with cramping in his right calf.Collins said the Mets wanted to put Bruce through some pregame drills Friday to make sure he was healthy enough to play. Bruce struck out four straight times, drawing boos from the home crowd. Dikembe Mutombo Jersey .

"We know whos in charge," he said.Charlie Nicholas says Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea would all be interested in buying Theo Walcott this summer - and has urged Arsenal not to let him leave. The 27-year-old forward has not made Arsene Wengers starting line-up since their 3-2 defeat to Manchester United at the end of February, playing just 15 minutes, in total, in back-to-back draws with West Ham and Crystal Palace.That lack of playing time has brought both Walcotts Arsenal future and his chances of making Englands Euro 2016 squad into question - but Gunners legend Nicholas is convinced the club would regret letting him go. Walcotts next club odds Find out where Sky Bet expect Walcott to be playing next season. The Soccer Saturday pundit said: There has to be suitors looking at him. I dont see why Manchester United and Liverpool wouldnt be interested.Theo has the pace that people will be interested in and Chelsea might also be looking at him if theyre considering letting Eden Hazard go.I think if the money was there, Arsene would sell him but I would not.

Nicholas, who made 184 appearances for Arsenal, believves Wenger can still get more out of the forward, who has only scored 10 goals or more once since arriving in 2006.dddddddddddd.He added: I do believe he has it in him to score 20+ goals in a season. Arsene needs to change something for next season and he clearly needs to change the way he uses Walcott if hes going to get the best out of him.Theo is too nice though and Id like to think he would have a good honest row with Arsene every now and again and ask him what he needs to do to prove himself.

He told Sky Sports: Its not looking great for him right now and for the sake of his career he needs to be somewhere hes going to play every week.I think hes in real danger of missing out on the Euros, I really do, and if he wants to be a first-choice striker he needs to be looking at one of the teams outside the Champions League challengers to have that guaranteed. Id happily have him back at Southampton.Hes obviously slipped down the pecking order at Arsenal. Alex Iwobi is now starting and Joel Campbell has also been picked ahead of him, so hes got to be asking questions.
