Fantasy Performance by Week
Fantasy News

Scherzer (4-2) earned the win Friday, allowing one run on six hits over seven innings against Colorado. He struck out eight and did not walk a batter. Scherzer has been dealing ever since struggling against the Tigers on May 3, when he coughed up six runs in 3.1 innings. The future Hall of Famer has allowed just two runs combined across his three starts since then, and he appears to be finally settled in after dealing with a 10-day suspension and neck spasms earlier in the year. The right-hander is tentatively slated to face the Phillies at home in his next start.... See More ... See Less

Mets' Max Scherzer: Fires six shutout frames
Scherzer didn't factor in the decision in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against Cleveland after he allowed three hits and one walk across six scoreless innings. He struck out five. The 37-year-old was on track for his fourth win of the season with the Mets leading 3-0 after seven innings, but Adam Ottavino and David Robertson surrendered four runs during the eighth. Scherzer missed out on the win but still delivered his best start of the season, with Sunday's outing being the first time in six starts since Opening Day he's completed six frames. According to Tim Healey of Newsday, Scherzer pitched with some raw skin on his thumb due to a split callus, though the fact he effectively pitched through the issue indicates it shouldn't be a problem moving forward....

Mets' Max Scherzer: Saturday's start rained out
Scherzer won't start Saturday against the Guardians as scheduled, as the game has been postponed due to rain. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Sunday. Scherzer will take the hill for the afternoon game, per Tim Healey of Newsday.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Back on track
Scherzer (3-2) gave up one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out six in five innings en route to the win Sunday in the Mets' 8-2 victory over Washington in Game 2 of a doubleheader. Scherzer was making his first start since giving up six earned runs in 3.1 innings May 3 in Detroit, so it's a positive to see him back on track, especially since a week ago he has been pitching through shoulder discomfort in addition to his recent neck spasms. For his next outing, Scherzer lines up to pitch at home this upcoming weekend against Cleveland.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Starting second game Sunday
Scherzer (neck) will start the second game of a doubleheader against the Nationals on Sunday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports. Mets manager Buck Showalter has not decided who will be the starter for the first game as of yet. The team will be able to call up a 27th player for the twin billing after Saturday's game was postponed due to rain, and it's possible New York could call on one of their arms from Triple-A Syracuse to start the game. Scherzer will be pitching for just the second time since April 10 because of a 10-game suspension and a bout with spasms in his neck.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Throws bullpen session
Scherzer (neck) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session Friday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. It was Scherzer's first time on the mound since he got scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday versus the Reds due to neck spasms. Those spasms lingered for a couple of days, but Healey notes that the veteran right-hander finished with a fist pump after Friday's workout, so Scherzer seemed pretty pleased with the session. He will likely get the call for the Mets on Sunday against his former club, the Nationals.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Neck still spasming
Scherzer attempted to play catch Wednesday but cut it short because his neck was still spasming, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Scherzer noted that while the spasm "hasn't fully let go yet," he feels better than he did Tuesday and is still planning to make a start the weekend series against the Nationals, which runs through Monday. The three-time Cy Young winner has also been battling through nagging discomfort below his right scapula.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Aims for weekend return
Scherzer (neck) said he hopes to slot back into the Mets' rotation during their upcoming four-game series against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. That four-game set at Nationals Park runs from Friday to next Monday. Scherzer was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday against the Reds due to a bout of neck spasms which first set in Sunday and got worse Monday. The good news is he fully expects to avoid the injured list. David Peterson has been called up to take the mound in his place Tuesday night at Cincinnati.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Scratched with neck spasms
Scherzer was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday versus the Reds due to neck spasms. This neck issue is apparently unrelated to the shoulder/back discomfort that has been bothering Scherzer for much of the season. He's considered day-to-day and the Mets believe it to be a minor injury, though there's been no word yet about when he might slot back into the rotation. David Peterson has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as the team's fill-in starter Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Uncertain for Tuesday's start
Scherzer (shoulder) is uncertain for his scheduled start Tuesday against the Reds, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. David Peterson has joined the Mets in Cincinnati in the event that Scherzer is unable to pitch. The veteran ace acknowledged recently that he is still dealing with discomfort below his right scapula, an issue that first popped up in mid-April. He told Dan Martin and Mike Puma of the New York Post on Monday that he is "trying like hell not to join the IL."... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Pitching through shoulder injury
Scherzer has admitted that he's still pitching with discomfort below his right scapula, Dan Martin and Mike Puma of the New York Post report. Scherzer first injured his shoulder last month and had a start pushed back, although he never went on the injured list. He's still dealing with soreness, though, and attributed the drop in velocity in his last start -- when he allowed six runs over 3.1 innings -- to managing the injury so it didn't get worse. Scherzer dealt with a similar but more serious injury in 2019 with the Nationals when he was sidelined for several weeks. "That's how bad this can get,'' Scherzer said. "I respect that. I've learned from that and I'm trying like hell to not have that happen." Scherzer will start Tuesday in Cincinnati and will continue to take the ball for the Mets as long as he's able. His effectiveness and ability to not aggravate the injury are in question, though. Scherzer sports a 5.56 ERA in five starts this season.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Shaky in return
Scherzer (2-2) took the loss in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers, surrendering six runs on eight hits and a walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out three. Getting back on the mound after serving a 10-game suspension and pitching in Detroit, the city where he blossomed into an ace a decade ago, Scherzer didn't appear to be his usual focused self and served up homers to Eric Haase and Matt Vierling before getting the hook. The 38-year-old righty has had an erratic beginning to his 16th MLB campaign, and Scherzer will carry a 5.56 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB through 22.2 innings into his next outing, likely to come in Cincinnati next week....

Mets' Max Scherzer: Reinstated before Wednesday's start
The Mets reinstated Scherzer on Tuesday after he completed his 10-game suspension for the use of foreign substances in his April 19 start against the Dodgers. Scherzer won't make his next start until Wednesday in Detroit, but he'll rejoin the 26-man active roster now that his 10-game ban has been served. The three-time Cy Young Award winner has disappointed in his first four starts this season, pitching to a 3.72 ERA and 17:9 K:BB over 19.1 innings. Still, managers are certainly going to want to make sure Scherzer is included in fantasy lineups ahead of a favorable matchup against one of his former clubs.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Likely to start Wednesday
Scherzer (suspension) is likely to rejoin the Mets' rotation Wednesday in Detroit, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. Scherzer's 10-game suspension will officially come to an end following Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta, but Sherman notes that the club won't have him pitch when he's first eligible to do so Tuesday in Detroit due to weather-related concerns for that game. As a result, Scherzer is set to be pushed back an extra day, allowing Joey Lucchesi to get the ball for the series opener. The arrangement will prevent Scherzer from making two starts this week, but he would then be in line for a two-step the following week.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Suspension return delayed
Scherzer (suspension) is not eligible to return until Tuesday as a result of Saturday's rainout versus Atlanta. Moreover, if Sunday's game gets postponed, Scherzer's activation from his 10-game ban for using foreign substances could be pushed back again. The veteran right-hander had been slated to handle Monday's series finale versus Atlanta but is now currently lined up to face the Tigers on Tuesday in Detroit.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Rejoining rotation Monday
Scherzer (suspension) is scheduled to start Monday's game against Atlanta at Citi Field. Scherzer's 10-game suspension for using a foreign substance in an April 19 start against the Dodgers will officially come to an end Monday, and as expected, the Mets won't waste any time in adding him back to the rotation. New York is also expected to activate Justin Verlander (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list at some point during the upcoming week, meaning that Jose Butto and one of Joey Lucchesi, David Peterson or Tylor Megill will lose spots in the Mets' five-man rotation....

Mets' Max Scherzer: Drops appeal
Scherzer has dropped his appeal and will begin to serve his 10-game suspension Thursday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. Scherzer was ejected from Wednesday's game for the use of foreign substances and will now face a 10-game suspension. He had originally planned to appeal but has since dropped the fight for unknown reasons. Scherzer will be eligible to return May 1, the final contest of a four-game series with Atlanta. Joey Lucchesi is expected to take Scherzer's spot in the rotation.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Suspended for 10 games, will appeal
Scherzer has been suspended 10 games due to the alleged use of a foreign substance Wednesday versus the Dodgers, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. Scherzer has appealed the punishment and there will hopefully be a resolution by the time his next turn comes up in the Mets' starting rotation. He'll remain active until the appeal is heard. Scherzer was ejected before the bottom of the fourth inning Wednesday at Dodger Stadium after umpires determined that his right (throwing) hand and glove were overly sticky. The veteran ace has maintained that it was only a mix of rosin -- a legal substance -- and sweat.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Facing 10-game suspension
Scherzer is facing a 10-game suspension after being ejected from Wednesday's start versus the Dodgers due to a foreign substance, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Both Scherzer and Mets manager Buck Showalter contend that the stickiness of the pitcher's hand was due to a mixture of rosin -- a legal substance -- and sweat. However, the umpiring crew led by Phil Cuzzi weren't buying it, leading to Scherzer's ejection. Because the ejection was due to a foreign substance, by rule Scherzer will be assessed an automatic 10-game suspension by Major League Baseball. The pitcher would get a hearing where he would have an opportunity to argue his side of things.... See More ... See Less -
Mets' Max Scherzer: Ejected after substance check
Scherzer was ejected from Wednesday's game Dodgers in the fourth inning after arguing with officials upon being checked for a foreign substance, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. He struck out three and scattered one hit and two walks over three scoreless frames before being ejected. Scherzer's hand and glove were examined by field umpire Phil Cuzzi prior to the third inning, and he was asked to get a new glove before pitching that frame. The pitcher was examined again before the bottom of the fourth and got into an argument with home plate umpire Dan Bellino, who ejected Scherzer. Major League Baseball will likely review the situation, and Bob Nightengale of USA Today notes that Scherzer will be subject to an automatic 10-game suspension if the umpires inform the league office that the right-hander's ejection was the result of him using a foreign substance. Scherzer would have the ability to appeal a potential suspension, however.... See More ... See Less
