Scherzer (oblique) said Saturday via his personal Twitter feed that his rehab won't be delayed after being bitten by one of his dogs on his right hand.

EDGE Analysis

A previous report indicated that Scherzer was bitten on his non-throwing hand, but he was actually bitten on his right hand. However, he said Saturday that the bite wasn't severe, and he was able to play long toss after taking a day off from throwing. The righty is progressing as expected in his rehab from an oblique strain, and his recent dog bite won't hinder his recovery process.

Scherzer (oblique) was recently bitten by one of his dogs on his non-pitching hand, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer has been progressing in his rehab from his oblique strain as expected, and the Mets don't anticipate that the right-hander's hand issue will delay his recovery timetable. The 37-year-old's recovery timetable initially put him on track to return in early July, but he could be in the mix to rejoin the Mets' rotation before then given the encouraging progress he made prior to being bitten by his dog.

EDGE Analysis

Mets manager Buck Showalter didn't go into any details on Scherzer's progress when speaking to reporters Thursday, but it's at least encouraging the right-hander hasn't had any setbacks. "He's doing fine. Who knows what he's doing away from the field," Showalter joked. "He's probably had four or five sides by now. He's probably got the whole neighborhood hitting off of him." The original timetable for Scherzer's return suggested he could rejoin the rotation in early July, but as Showalter alluded, his ultra-competitive nature could accelerate that schedule.

Scherzer (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to May 19, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after being diagnosed with a moderate to high-grade oblique strain this week, so his placement on the IL was expected. A better timetable for the right-hander's return will likely come into focus once he begins a throwing program, but he'll likely be sidelined until at least early July.

Scherzer was diagnosed with a moderate to high-grade oblique strain Thursday and will miss 6-to-8 weeks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer pulled himself from his start Wednesday against the Cardinals with what was originally called left side discomfort, but a more serious diagnosis always appeared likely. That diagnosis has indeed come following an MRI on Thursday. The given timeline means Scherzer should be back sometime in the first half of July, barring setbacks. With Jacob deGrom (shoulder) and Tylor Megill (biceps) also out, Trevor Williams appears to have a safe rotation spot for now, with David Peterson likely to get an opportunity as well.

Scherzer is dealing with an oblique injury, though the specifics of his timeline are not yet clear, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer left his start Wednesday against the Cardinals with what was originally referred to as left side discomfort. He underwent an MRI on Thursday, the results of which have yet to be fully made public. If Scherzer's injury is in fact an oblique strain, he could be out for over a month, though his diagnosis has yet to be confirmed.

Scherzer (side) underwent an MRI on Thursday, but the Mets are still waiting on doctors to evaluate the results before providing an update on the right-hander's status, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer exited his start in Wednesday's win over the Cardinals with what the team labeled as "left side discomfort," but the MRI should help clarify whether or not he's dealing with an oblique strain. The Mets will likely follow up on Scherzer's status no later than Friday, but for the time being, a trip to the injured list remains in play for the three-time Cy Young Award winner. Per DiComo, manager Buck Showalter also relayed after Wednesday's contest that Scherzer has been pitching through multiple blisters on his pitching hand for his last two starts, which could also factor into the team's decision on whether to put him on the IL.

Scherzer was diagnosed with left side discomfort after exiting Wednesday's start against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The good news is Scherzer isn't dealing with an arm injury, though a side issue could mean problems with the oblique, which is often a troublesome injury to recover from. The 37-year-old pitched well Wednesday before the injury flared up and was in line for the victory after giving up two runs (one earned) on seven hits with four strikeouts and zero walks over 5.2 innings. It remains to be seen if Scherzer will be available for his next turn through the rotation, and he'll undergo medical testing Thursday.

Scherzer was removed from Wednesday's game against the Cardinals with an apparent injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander threw a pitch in the dirt with two outs and runners on first and second during the sixth inning, and he left the contest after gesturing to the coaching staff after the pitch. He didn't appear to suffer an obvious injury, but it's a concerning development given how Scherzer typically fights to stay in as long as possible. He exited in line for the victory and allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits with four strikeouts and zero walks over 5.2 innings.

Scherzer didn't factor into the decision Friday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over seven innings in a 2-1 loss to the Mariners. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The perennial Cy Young threat fired 60 of 98 pitches for strikes en route to his fifth quality start in seven trips to the mound this season, but Scherzer didn't get the run support he needed to turn the performance into his fifth win. The 37-year-old will carry a dominant 2.66 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 55:11 K:BB through 44 innings into his next outing.
