Before the Mets‘ comeback fell just short in the series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, dropping them to 17-19 on the season, the blue and orange got some disappointing injury news.
Scherzer misses another start for the Mets:
Max Scherzer has missed another start as Tuesday night’s scheduled starter did not pitch due to neck spasms.
According to Ben Weinrib of MLB.com, Scherzer felt a neck issue beginning during his workout on Sunday and did a micro-needling treatment. However, the 38-year-old woke up on Monday with the right side of his neck locked and did not improve by Tuesday.
