The Mets were optimistic Max Scherzer’s Wednesday outing could be his final tuneup before he rejoins the big-league rotation.
Scherzer has missed two starts since being placed on the injured list with left oblique irritation. When he returns, his workload will be worth watching. His arm failed him last October with the Dodgers, with whom he could not take his scheduled start in the NLCS because of fatigue that he blamed on not being built up enough.
Showalter believed Tylor Megill would require one more game during his rehab assignment. The starter turned reliever was excellent in four outings with Double-A Binghamton and Syracuse before allowing five runs while recording two outs in a game Tuesday.“There was some thought about him finishing an inning with two outs and then starting the next inning, trying to give him two ups,” Showalter said. “That’s the last hurdle, and I think that’s probably the way we’ll go.
Drew Smith has made two rehab appearances. The final step in the minors for the righty reliever likely will be pitching back-to-back Friday and Saturday.Wednesday was Islanders Night at Citi Field. Attendees included Josh Bailey , Adam Pelech, Scott Mayfield, Ryan Pulock, Anthony Beauvillier and Russ Johnston.
During the news conference, Showalter took a detour to ask “the difference between TikTok, Twitter, FaceTime and all the other [social media].”“Buck don’t dance,” he said.
