The Mets rotation only has to survive three more days without one of their co-aces. Max Scherzer said he will start for the Mets on Tuesday against the Reds at Cincinnati. Scherzer will come off the injured list roughly seven weeks after he sustained a left oblique strain in the middle of his May 18 start against the Cardinals at Citi Field. “I have a much better grasp of what this is,” said Scherzer of his oblique tear.
