Mets ace Max Scherzer left his last start on Saturday with what he described as “fatigue” on his left side after five innings. He previously missed time with an oblique strain on the same side, and now, the Mets have added him to the injured list.
As a result, he is set to miss his next scheduled start on Friday, when the Mets travel to face the Marlins. The news comes at the worst possible time for New York, which entered September with the easiest remaining schedule in baseball on paper, but has struggled to take advantage thus far.
