Mets take the field for warmups on Opening Day 2024

NEW YORK -- Not too long ago, the Mets were the envy of many teams in baseball because they had starting pitchers like Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer.

For a variety of reasons, they don't anymore. Instead, the Mets have put together a rotation that figures to be a major work in progress in 2024. The first starter to get a chance will be Jose Quintana, who will take the ball on opening day against the Milwaukee Brewers at 1:40 p.m. on Friday at Citi Field.

The Brewers will counter with right-hander Freddy Peralta.

Here are the starting lineups for the Mets and Brewers:

Mets: 

  1. Brandon Nimmo LF
  2. Francisco Lindor SS
  3. Pete Alonso 1B
  4. Jeff McNeil 2B
  5. Starling Marte RF
  6. DJ Stewart DH
  7. Francisco Alvarez C
  8. Brett Baty 3B
  9. Harrison Bader CF

Brewers:

  1. Jackson Chourio RF
  2. William Contreras C
  3. Christian Yelich LF
  4. Rhys Hoskins 1B
  5. Willy Adames SS
  6. Blake Perkins CF
  7. Joey Ortiz 2B
  8. Gary Sanchez DH
  9. Andruw Monasterio 3B

The Mets and veteran hitter J.D. Martinez agreed to a 1-year contract on March 23. Martinez will get some reps in the minor leagues and likely join the Mets in mid-April. Martinez will likely replace Stewart as the everyday DH. 

The Mets are 40-22 all-time on opening day, while the Brewers are 29-26. To see the Mets' full regular season game and TV schedule, please click here.
