A strange week for the Mets continued as starting pitcher Max Scherzer became the second member of the organization to sustain a minor hand injury in bizarre fashion.
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the righthander was bitten by one of his dogs in recent days while at home in Florida. It was initially reported that the bite was to Scherzer’s non-pitching (left) hand; however, a team official told Puma later on Saturday that the bite was to the pitcher’s throwing hand. It reportedly will not create a setback in his rehab.
Scherzer released a statement later Saturday, saying that his dog bit him after hurting its leg on a run, and that it wasn’t a bad bite.
