The New York Mets have a strong rotation but they plan to use a six-man crew at times this coming season due to age and injury concerns.

It won't be a permanent strategy, but a report states the Mets will use it whenever they play on more than 10 consecutive days.

New York's expected starting five is Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Kodai Senga, Carlos Carrasco and Jose Quintana.
