Mets’ Max Scherzer is making one more rehab start: ‘got a little sore’

The right-hander expects that start will occur Tuesday at a minor league affiliate still to be determined. Scherzer pitched 3 ¹/₃ innings Tuesday at Double-A Binghamton, throwing 65 pitches, in his first rehab appearance since straining his left oblique May 18. The initial prognosis was a recovery time of six to eight weeks. Scherzer still hasn’t reached six weeks.

But Scherzer initially hoped his return to the Mets would occur Sunday. Manager Buck Showalter has instead scheduled David Peterson to face the Marlins.on Saturday. “I am trying to pitch and do rehab at the same time, so coming out after that start, doing a core routine afterwards, throwing a bullpen, doing a core routine, it was a lot and I got a little sore.

“We came into the field [Wednesday] and played catch and it was in pretty good condition all things considered,” Scherzer said. “I felt like I woke up pretty good. I threw a bullpen [session] the next day, probably normal intensity and then a core routine afterwards. I just came in the next day and I was sore, as expected. I am doing a lot. I passed all the tests, there is no setback whatsoever, so this is just the nature of coming back from this injury.

Scherzer had never dealt with an oblique injury previously in his career, so he is working without a roadmap. The Mets have managed to maintain a first-place lead in the NL East with Scherzer, Jacob deGrom and Tylor Megill all missing from the starting rotation. But Scherzer said the team’s success isn’t playing into his decision to play it cautiously in his rehab.“You have got to completely remove that from your calculus,” Scherzer said. “I cannot have a setback. I have got to come back healthy. I cannot have a setback. I understand that and will pitch when I am ready to pitch.
