Max Scherzer Says He's "Most Likely" Starting On Friday
3 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (hamstring) has claimed that he is "most likely pitching Game 2 of the season on Friday," according to Mets beat writer Anthony DiComo. While this is certainly not official news, it sounds very encouraging at the least. Scherzer has been dealing with hamstring tightness over the past week, making his availability for the start of the season a question. What's unclear from Scherzer's statement and DiComo's report, which came in a Tweet, is who will be the Mets' Opening Day starter if Scherzer's prediction is true. Chris Bassitt would seem like the most logical option, but we should have more clear updates to follow.
