Because of Thursday's day off and to keep Pedro Martinez on as close to his fifth-day rotation as possible, Zambrano had been pushed back from Friday to Saturday, with Tom Glavine starting Sunday at Atlanta.
Randolph amended that Wednesday when he announced Martinez, Glavine and Steve Trachsel would go against the Braves.
The Mets don't know the availability of Brian Bannister, who strained his right hamstring in the sixth inning of the Mets' 9-7 victory in 11 innings Wednesday over San Francisco.
Bannister was injured running the bases and will undergo a MRI exam Thursday in Atlanta.
REPLAY: On a day in which the Mets lost their starting pitcher Brian Bannister with a strained right hamstring and a ninth inning lead, they came back to beat the San Francisco Giants, 9-7, Wednesday in 11 innings.
The Mets seemingly had the game wrapped up in the ninth inning, but David Wright's throwing error kept the game alive.
However, Barry Bonds, pinch-hitting for Steve Finley, homered off closer Billy Wagner to tie the game, 7-7.
The Mets had taken a 7-4 lead in the eighth on pinch-hitter Julio Franco's two-run, pinch single and Wright's double.
Bannister injured his hamstring running the bases in the sixth inning and will undergo a MRI exam Thursday in Atlanta.
NOTES, QUOTES
RHP Brian Bannister strained his right hamstring running the bases in the sixth inning Wednesday and will be re-examined Thursday in Atlanta.
The Mets juggled their rotation for the Atlanta series, with RHP Pedro Martinez, LHP Tom Glavine and RHP Steve Trachsel starting, and RHP Victor Zambrano working next Monday against Washington.
CF Carlos Beltran, who hasn't played since April 21 because of a sore right hamstring, will be re-evaluated Friday in Atlanta.
OF Michael Tucker, 34, was signed to a minor league contract. He will work out in Port St. Lucie, Fla., with the Mets' extended spring training teams.
LHP Billy Wagner blew his second save opportunity of the season Wednesday when he gave up a two-run, pinch-hit home run to Barry Bonds in the ninth inning.
1B Carlos Delgado hit his ninth homer of the month Wednesday to tie the club record set by Dave Kingman in 1976.
INF Julio Franco, at 47, became the second-oldest player in history to steal a base. The New York Giants' Arlie Latham was 49 when he stole a base in 1909 against Philadelphia.
