The Mets announced Thursday pitcher Max Scherzer will miss approximately six to eight weeks with a moderate to high grade oblique strain.
Scherzer suffered the injury Wednesday night vs. St. Louis, when he had to leave the game in the middle of an at-bat after feeling something on his left side.
After the game, Scherzer said he didn’t think the injury was too serious, and he took himself out of the game to try and prevent further damage.
“Just felt a zing in my left side and just knew I was done,” he said.
