Wins in first career start
McLean earned the win in his MLB debut in Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Mariners, allowing two hits and four walks while striking out eight over 5.1 scoreless innings.
Analysis
McLean's first big-league start went about as well as the Mets could have hoped, as he fired 55 of 91 pitches for strikes while generating 11 whiffs and limiting the Mariners to four hard-hit balls. Per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, McLean joined Matt Harvey as the only Mets pitchers to record eight strikeouts and a win in a scoreless debut. According to Ben Krimmel of SNY.tv, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza all but confirmed that the 24-year-old righty will get another turn through the rotation, which will likely fall next weekend in Atlanta. McLean's standing in the rotation beyond that may hinge on how he performs, as Tylor Megill (elbow) is in the midst of a rehab assignment and could displace McLean as the club's fifth starter once he's activated from the injured list.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Mets prioritizing development
The Mets have yet to call up McLean because the organization doesn't want to interrupt his development process, per Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News.
Analysis
McLean is New York's top pitching prospect and has a 2.90 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 45:22 K:BB across 49.2 innings since being promoted to Triple-A Syracuse in early May. However, the Mets apparently don't want to rush him to the majors and are instead turning to Blade Tidwell -- who is a lower-level prospect -- to round out an injury-depleted rotation, at least for now. Sean Manaea is nearing his return from oblique and elbow injuries, so the big club will be getting some veteran rotation help in the near future. McLean should still be in the mix to make his big-league debut down the stretch this season if he continues to pitch well at Triple-A.
