Mets pitcher Dillon Gee (groin) is scheduled arrive in Pittsburgh Saturday and is expected to be activated from the disabled list shortly after joining the clubhouse. Manager Terry Collins told reporters that a decision on Gee's role has been made, hinting that both Gee and top prospect Noah Syndergaard could get starts in some form of a six-man rotation, per ESPN.
Gee allowed only one earned run over 10 1/3 rehab innings. He went 0-2 with a 3.86 ERA in five starts at the time he was placed on the disabled list. Syndergaard has a 3.18 ERA over his first two career starts. He will seek his second career win on Friday.
