Mets ace Max Scherzer was expected to make his fourth start of the 2023 MLB season on Sunday against the Athletics. Instead, it’ll be Jose Butto toeing the rubber for New York.
Per Tim Healey of Newsday, manager Buck Showalter told reporters Saturday that Scherzer’s next start would be pushed back a few days until Wednesday.
Showalter indicated the 38-year-old is dealing with soreness to his back and his right side, prompting the organization take a cautious approach and delay his next start by a few days.
