Mets' Max Scherzer 90% recovered from oblique injury but only halfway to returning to mound

NEW YORK — Max Scherzer’s oblique strain is 90% recovered, but only halfway there.

The expensive Mets ace revealed he received a P4P injection not long after suffering his injury, and the treatment went well enough to begin his tedious climb to the finish line quickly.

”The way to describe this injury and the rehab of this, half of the battle is getting back to 90 percent and then the second half of this battle is 90 percent to 100 percent,” Scherzer said. “With the trainers here we’ve done a good job of getting back to 90 percent but I’m still fighting the fight here to get back to 100 percent.”
