Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer announced that he will make his 2022 debut in the second game of the series against the Nationals on Friday. Scherzer is going to miss Opening Day Thursday due to a hamstring “hiccup” he’s been dealing with.
The eight-time All Star added that he “was able to pass all the tests” to play. Tylor Megill will start in place of Scherzer and the injured Jacob deGrom on Thursday.
“I can’t tell you how many pitches I’m going to throw, [will] just manage what you got,” he said.
