3 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (hamstring) initially felt tightness in his right hamstring on Thursday and felt it again while going through his pre-start routine on Saturday before being scratched from a minor league outing. He doesn't think it's a long-term issue, but it's too soon to tell if he'll be ready for Opening Day. The Mets have perhaps the best one-two punch in baseball with Jacob deGrom and Scherzer, but neither may be on the mound on Opening Day, with deGrom out for a significant amount of time with a shoulder ailment. Scherzer, however, might not miss much time at all if he's not able to start next week. The 37-year-old three-time Cy Young winner remains a high-end fantasy ace.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
