New York, EE.UU. /
A few days before the playball is sung in the 2022 Season of the MLBthe New York Mets They are going through a major crisis after their two best pitchers were injured on consecutive days. With one of them out for good for a month, the team’s Opening Day starter will depend on the session Max Scherzer holds.
Originally, the Opening Game starter was Jacob deGrom; however, that changed after a shoulder injury I will leave him out for about a month.
Given deGrom’s injury, the courier of the opening day was left in the hands of Max Scherzerwho came to the organization in recent months as one of the most notorious hirings of the offseason.
Unfortunately, Sherzer strained a hamstring a day after deGrom’s injuryquestioning whether he would be ready to climb into the center of the diamond on April 7, with Tuesday as the deadline to decide.
“We will have a pretty good idea on Tuesday, when Max (Scherzer) is scheduled to launch a parallel (session). Once we get there, we’ll have a pretty good idea of where we’re going to go.” manager Buck Showalter commented on the matter.
Although Showalter said he had alternatives, the pitcher who would go up to the mound is still unknown in case it is confirmed if the discomfort still persists in Scherzer’s back, so pitchers like Chris Bassitt, the Venezuelan Carlos Carrasco and Taijuan Walker are some of the options.
“(Scherzer) could possibly pitch (Opening Day), but that’s still being debated by other people,” added the Washington leader.
In case the case of Scherzer worsen and there is talk of a possible injury that will keep him out longer, Showalter would use pitchers like Tylor Megill, Trevor Williams and David Peterson who already count as starting experience to cover the two big holes in its rotation.
