Max Scherzer To Throw Bullpen Session Tuesday
3 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. According to Mets manager Buck Showalter, the session will go a long way in informing the team on Scherzer's availability for the start of the season. The veteran felt right hamstring tightness late last week and he wound up being scratched from his scheduled start this past Saturday. Last year, the three-time Cy Young winner was dominant, going 15-4 with a 2.46 ERA, a 0.86 WHIP and a 34.1% strikeout rate. Scherzer stated that he doesn't believe this injury is a long-term concern, but we'd still expect it to cause him to slip a tad in fantasy drafts this week. Make sure he doesn't slip too much. If he's there in the third round, go get him.
