3 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer (hamstring) said he is unconcerned about his hamstring "tweak" and remains on schedule to start a minor league intrasquad game on Saturday. That's a bit of good news after Mets fans discovered on Friday that Jacob deGrom (shoulder) will miss significant time to begin the season due to right shoulder inflammation. Scherzer should take the team's Opening Day start next week against his former team, the Washington Nationals, on Thursday now that deGrom is out of commission. The 37-year-old right-hander made his eighth All-Star team last year when he went 15-4 with a 2.46 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in 30 starts for the Nationals and Los Angeles Dodgers last year. Scherzer remains a top-five fantasy starter.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
