"The Mets have dropped 11 straight after a sweep against the Cubs over the weekend. The club is back home tonight to face the Twins for a three-game set."
"Cubs manager Craig Counsell shared his take on the two-way player rule, stating, 'I've never understood it. It's an offensive rule, essentially.'"
"Players meet the two-way designation by pitching 20 innings and playing 20 games as the DH or in the field, with three plate appearances needed for those games to count."
The Mets have lost 11 consecutive games, last winning while the Artemis II crew was in space. They return home to face the Twins, with Nolan McLean starting. Juan Soto is expected to return from injury during this homestand. Cubs manager Craig Counsell criticized the two-way player rule, stating it favors offense and provides special consideration to one team. The rule allows teams to carry a pitcher who doesn't count against the roster limit, with specific requirements for players to qualify.
