Mets place Max Scherzer on the 15 day IL

When it rains it pours…and it did rain a lot yesterday.

…to the IL

The Mets have placed Max Scherzer on the 10 day IL.

Look, the worst that happens is – the Mets have a 10.5 game lead over the 3rd wild card with 30 to play.  Maybe they get bounced in the Wild Card round.  Then they can place a 2022 Wild Card banner next to the stupid 2016 Wild Card Participant one they have up.

You guys are so negative.

RHP Yoan López has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse and will serve as the team’s 29th man for both games of the doubleheader.
