KEY GAME INFORMATION
NY METS: 2017 70-92, fourth place
MANAGER Mickey Callaway (first season)
ADDITIONS: 3B Todd Frazier, RF Jay Bruce, LHP Jason Vargas, 1B Adrian Gonzalez, RHP Anthony Swarzak, LHP Matt Purke, C Jose Lobaton
SUBTRACTIONS: Manager Terry Collins, LHP Josh Smoker, LHP Josh Edgin, RHP Chasen Bradford, OF Norichika Aoki, RHP Erik Goeddel, RHP Tyler Pill, LHP Tommy Milone, OF Travis Taijeron
OUTLOOK: Callaway had great success with Cleveland's arms, and the injury-plagued Mets are counting on his methods, along with new pitching coach Dave Eiland, to keep their talented but fragile rotation intact. New York also overhauled its medical department, hoping to keep star players on the field. Syndergaard and deGrom make for an imposing 1-2 punch. So if Harvey, Matz and Zack Wheeler -- even one or two of them -- can finally stay healthy and approach their initial big league form, the pitching staff could be terrific again after unraveling last year with a 5.01 ERA that ranked 28th in the majors. Vargas was signed to eat innings but will miss some time at the beginning of the season after surgery for a broken right (nonpitching) hand. All-Star outfielder Michael Conforto (27 HRs, .384 OBP, .939 OPS) is targeting a May 1 return from surgery for a dislocated left shoulder. His status is critical to a lineup that lacks speed and a natural leadoff hitter. Nimmo made strides last season and is a potential candidate for that role while platooning early with Juan Lagares to fill Conforto's spot in center field. After the Mets spent nearly $90 million to plug holes in free agency, it still might be a stretch to envision them seriously challenging star-studded Washington for NL East supremacy. But with better health in a soft division, they could certainly rejoin the wild-card hunt.
PHILADELPHIA: 2017 66-96, fifth place
MANAGER Gabe Kapler (first season)
ADDITIONS: RHP Jake Arrieta, 1B Carlos Santana, RHP Pat Neshek, RHP Tommy Hunter
SUBTRACTIONS: Manager Pete Mackanin, SS Freddy Galvis, INF Andres Blanco, OF Daniel Nava, OF Hyun Soo Kim, RHP Clay Buchholz, 1B Tommy Joseph
OUTLOOK: The decision to sign Arrieta signals the rebuild is over. The Phillies added Santana, Neshek and Hunter to a talented young roster in hopes of being competitive. A month into spring training, they added Arrieta because management thinks it's time to contend. The lineup has the potential to be dynamic if the young hitters continue to emerge and Santana does what he did in Cleveland. The bullpen should be formidable with Hunter-Neshek-Neris at the back end. If Arrieta regains his old form, Nola lives up to his promise and a couple of other starters take steps forward, the Phillies cannot only end their five-year run of losing seasons but maybe even make a surprise push for a postseason berth.
PREVIEW
Phillies host Mets with chance to make up ground
 

The Philadelphia Phillies will have the chance to make up some ground on the Atlanta Braves as they host the New York Mets in a doubleheader on Thursday.

The games will be played as a single-admission doubleheader at Citizens Bank Park. The opener starts a four-day, five-game series that ends Sunday in Williamsport, Pa., for the 2018 Little League Classic.

Corey Oswalt will start Game 1 for the Mets with Steven Matz taking the mound for Game 2. The Phillies (66-53) -- who are two games behind Atlanta in the National League East -- will use starters Ranger Suarez and Zach Eflin in the doubleheader, but they had not determined an order as of Wednesday night.

The Phillies' offense woke up on Wednesday night in a 7-4 win against the Red Sox, thanks in large part to the debut of catcher Wilson Ramos.

Ramos, who was acquired from Tampa Bay prior to the July 31 trade deadline, came off the disabled list after missing a month with a hamstring injury. He went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, two doubles and a triple in his first game with his new team. The Phillies had scored nine runs in their previous five games.

The Mets are 5-3 so far against the Phillies this season. They've won five of their last seven overall, including a 16-5 win over Baltimore on Wednesday night.

Matz (5-9, 4.35 ERA) will be returning from the disabled list for his start. He's coming off the worst outing of his big league career. In two-thirds of an inning, Matz allowed seven runs against the Washington Nationals in a game the Mets lost 25-4 on July 31.

Matz gave up just one run in five innings against the Phillies in his lone start against them this season. He is 0-1 with a 2.53 ERA and 1.406 WHIP in two starts against Philadelphia in his career.

Oswalt (1-2, 5.03) will be making his eighth major league start for the Mets, and the 24-year-old rookie has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his last six outings. Oswalt has a 3.94 ERA in that stretch, which includes a July 9 start when he gave up three runs on just one hit against the Phillies.

Oswalt, a righty, went six innings and allowed three runs on six hits against the Miami Marlins in his last outing on Saturday.

"I thought he was good," Mets manager Mickey Callaway told MLB.com of Oswalt after the start. "Good deception. He throws the ball over the plate and keeps his pitch count down so he's going to be able to pitch deep into the game if he's that efficient every time. He threw a really nice ballgame."

The Phillies will also be using a rookie starter during the doubleheader in Suarez (1-0, 7.20). It will be the second major league start for the 22-year-old. He threw five innings and allowed four runs against the Cincinnati Reds on July 26, picking up a win in a 9-4 Phillies victory.

Eflin (8-4, 3.57), meanwhile, will be rejoining the Phillies after he was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after his last start to create an extra roster spot.

Eflin has been part of the Phillies' rotation since the beginning of May. The Phillies have lost four of his last five starts, though, including a game against the San Diego Padres last Friday. Eflin went six innings in that contest, striking out eight and surrendering just two runs, but the Phillies were shut out.

Eflin is 0-2 with a 4.64 ERA and 1.172 WHIP in four career starts against the Mets. In his one start against the Mets this season, Elfin gave up three runs and five hits in five innings, but did not get a decision in the Mets' 4-3 win in one game of the doubleheader on July 9.
