Mets call up Reed, option Katoh, place Scherzer on IL

The Mets have announced several roster moves ahead of today’s doubleheader against the Rockies at Coors Field.

First and foremost, the club placed Max Scherzer on the IL, as the ace is expected to miss roughly 6-8 weeks with an oblique injury. Starling Marte, who was placed on the bereavement list on Tuesday following the passing of his grandmother, is back with the club. The club has also brought back reliever Jake Reed from Triple-A while optioning Gosuke Katoh to Triple-A. Adonis Medina will also serve as the 27th man for today’s doubleheader.
