Days ahead of the opening day of the 2022 season, the New York Mets have faced a big blow. Like, Jacob deGrom’s injury was not enough for the Mets, now Max Scherzer is also doubtful for the opening day.

Earlier on Saturday, the Mets informed that their starting pitcher Jacob deGrom will not be playing for at least a month. And if reports are to be believed, then Max Scherzer also has a hamstring injury.However, if Scherzer does have a serious injury, then the New York Mets are in a big problem. Because the regular season will start on April 7, and the Mets will be without their starting pitchers.

Will Max Scherzer start on opening day for New York Mets?

When deGrom injured himself, it was quite obvious that Max Scherzer will play as the starting pitcher. Until Scherzer’s hamstring issue came up. However, despite his injury, Scherzer is likely to play on opening day for the Mets.

As per MLB Insider Jon Heyman, the Mets pitcher is not concerned about his hamstring. Because Scherzer believes it’s a minor injury. “Max Scherzer is said unconcerned about a hamstring “tweak.” Thought very minor at this point,” tweeted Heyman.

Though Scherzer’s injury is minor, it is still not a good sign for the Mets. Because they have already lost Jacob deGrom for a month or more due to a shoulder injury. Earlier on Saturday, the Mets announced that deGrom will not be able to pitch for up to 4 weeks.
