Max Scherzer Scratched With Neck Spasms
2 years agoNew York Mets right-hander Max Scherzer (neck, shoulder) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds due to neck spasms. Left-hander David Peterson has officially been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse and will make the spot start, while right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis (quadriceps) has been placed on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to May 8) with a left-quadriceps strain. Scherzer is also dealing with a right back/shoulder ailment that he's pitched through for most of the season. As of right now, the 38-year-old is considered day-to-day, but fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility that Scherzer needs a stint on the injured list. Scherzer currently has an ERA north of 5.00 and may finally be breaking down.
