3 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (oblique, finger) has an oblique injury and has also been pitching through multiple blisters on his pitching hand in his last two starts, according to manager Buck Showalter. Scherzer left his start early on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals with left side discomfort. There's no official word on how long the veteran right-hander will be out, but oblique injuries for pitchers can take more than a month to recover from, so his fantasy managers should expect an extended absence. It's a big blow for the Mets rotation and Scherzer's fantasy managers, as the 37-year-old eight-time All-Star is 5-1 with a 2.54 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 11 walks and 59 strikeouts in 49 2/3 innings over eight starts in his first year in Queens.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
