NEW YORK — The latest update on Max Scherzer is that there is no update.
Before Tuesday’s game, Mets manager Buck Showalter told reporters that the team will make a decision regarding Scherzer on Wednesday. The options are either to have Scherzer pitch Friday’s game in Miami, push his start to a few days after that or skip his turn in the rotation completely.
Scherzer left his last start, which came on Saturday against the Nationals, with fatigue in his left oblique. In May, Scherzer hit the injured list with a strain in that same oblique, which led to him missing a month and a half of game action. After Saturday’s game — in which he took himself out after just five innings and 67 pitches — Scherzer made clear that this was not a repeat of the same injury.
