Keaton Winn, a starter for the Giants, is currently dealing with mild elbow soreness but has no structural damage, as revealed by an MRI. The condition led to him being scratched from throwing live batting practice (BP) recently. Despite the setback, Winn is not overly concerned and believes he will be ready for Opening Day. The Giants are considering potential rotation options with big-league experience to fill in, including two pitchers from Northern California. In related news, with Kodai Senga injured, the Mets are looking at Tylor Megill, Jose Butto, and Joey Lucchesi as the most likely candidates to fill in. The Mets plan to stick to their existing strategy without seeking major external help, though they remain open to opportunities.

Column: despite a huge blow to the rotation the #Mets will steadfastly stick to The Plan. That’s probably a wise course, but it’s also worth remembering that The Plan, like Philly’s “Process,” is also contingent on a sizable dollop of good luck. https://t.co/6LcEFKI4h8
With Kodai Senga injured, the Mets do not plan to change course and seek major help outside the organization (with the caveat that they'll always be opportunistic). Tylor Megill, Joey Lucchesi and José Butto are the most likely candidates to replace Senga, David Stearns said.
David Stearns indicated Senga's replacement to start the season will likely come from the group of Tylor Megill, Jose Butto and Joey Lucchesi.

What Keaton Winn's bum elbow does is excuse the result of the entire season. Just bad injury luck. Process sound. Team is on the right track.

Mild elbow soreness for Keaton Winn, no structural damage. Unclear if similar to what he dealt with last year.
I’m hearing that Keaton Winn was scratched from throwing live BP yesterday because right elbow soreness after his last bullpen. Good news is MRI revealed no structural damage. But he’ll rest for a few days.
