Manager Buck Showalter said after Saturday's game that the team is hopeful Scherzer (side) will make his next start as scheduled, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer was lifted after only 67 pitches Saturday with what was described as a "fatigued" feeling in his left side. However, the skipper said Scherzer "probably could have continued to pitch but just didn't feel it was a good idea," per Tim Britton of The Athletic. While it sounds like Scherzer could make his date with the Marlins next week, we may not know his status for certain until after his next bullpen session.

Scherzer left Saturday's game against the Nationals "feeling fatigued on his left side," Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer was chasing his 200th career win, but this issue forced him from the game after only 67 pitches. He should be considered day-to-day for now. If there are any concerns about Scherzer's oblique, the Mets may have to give the right-hander some down time.

Scherzer was removed from Saturday's game against the Nationals after five innings and 67 pitches, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

A reason for his exit was not immediately available, but something seems to be up with Scherzer given the circumstances. The game was tied 1-1, he was chasing his 200th career win and his pitch count was manageable. The Mets figure to provide an update later in the evening.

Scherzer was effective Sunday as he reached double-digit strikeouts for the sixth time this season. The only damage against him came in the seventh inning when the Rockies manufactured a run on a couple of infield hits and a sacrifice fly. Scherzer now owns a 2.27 ERA, which would be good for sixth in the league if he had enough innings to qualify. He will try to get back in the win column in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for next weekend against Washington.

He yielded a solo home run to Aaron Judge in the third inning after now giving up a homer in any of his three previous starts.

Scherzer (9-2) earned the win Wednesday, allowing four runs on three hits and three walks over 6.1 innings in the Mets' 9-7 victory over the Braves. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Max was not at his best Wednesday but still earned the win against a red-hot Braves team. One factor to blame may be that the game was interrupted for a 1.5-hour rain delay in the third inning. Scherzer may have worn down by the sixth inning when the Braves tagged him for three of his runs allowed. Whatever the case, the Mets held the lead and earned the future Hall-of-Famer his ninth win of the season. He will take a 2.15 ERA into his next start.

Facing the team with whom he won a World Series in 2019, Scherzer endured a rough fourth inning (during which he gave up both of his earned runs and four of his six hits) to notch his seventh victory of the campaign.
