The past few days have been very tough for the New York Mets. Right before the start of the regular season, the Mets have got their star player injured. Notably, the Mets starting pitcher for the opening day, and Jacob deGrom is out for an indefinite time due to a shoulder injury. But, no worries, as Max Scherzer is there to pitch on opening day.

Even Scherzer is not hundred percent fit for the opening day. Various reports suggest that the Mets pitcher has a hamstring problem. But despite all that, he managed to gather the entire squad and cheer them up for the 2022 regular season.

Max Scherzer is yet to play any league game for the New York Mets, but the veteran pitcher still finds himself close to the Mets squad. With over 15 years of experience in MLB, Scherzer has an inbuilt leadership trait. He surely knows how to overcome a bad day at the office.

Earlier on Saturday, after the injury scare at the Citi Field, the Mets manager Buck Showalter gave a day off to players. However, they spent their day together anyway, thanks to Max Scherzer. As per MLB writer Anthony DiComo, Scherzer rented out an entire golf course and gathered his teammates to spend their day together.
