The Mets announced starting pitcher Max Scherzer has been scratched from his scheduled Tuesday start against the Reds with neck spasms. The team has recalled David Peterson from Triple A Syracuse to make the start, while placing pitcher Jimmy Yacabonis on the injured list to make room.
Scherzer said he woke up with the neck issue, but is hopeful he won’t be out long.
“There’s really nothing you can do for it other than rest,” he said, via SNY. “It’s gonna be a couple days, but that’s the good new is it’s only gonna be a couple days.”
