Good morning, Mets fans!
Per Tim Healey of Newsday Sports, Max Scherzer tried to play catch on Wednesday, but it didn’t last long or go well. His neck was still “in spasm.” But he did express that it felt better on Wednesday than it did on Tuesday. Depending on his progress, the Mets plan to bring him back into the rotation for the series against the Nationals.
The Mets got back on track with a 2-1 win over the Reds Wednesday, as recapped by Dan Quiñones. They’ll look to take the rubber game at 12:35 p.m. ET today.
