A strange week for the Mets continued as starting pitcher Max Scherzer became the second member of the organization to sustain a minor hand injury in bizarre fashion.
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the New York right-hander was bitten by one of his dogs in recent days while at home in Florida. The bite was reportedly to Scherzer’s non-pitching (left) hand, so the Mets are not terribly concerned with the incident.
The news of Scherzer’s dog bite comes in the same week that Mets infielder Francisco Lindor jammed his right middle finger in the double doors in his hotel suite.
