Mets Ace Max Scherzer Scratched From Start Due To Neck Injury

Max Scherzer was scratched from his scheduled start against the Reds due to neck spasms.
Scherzer has struggled with injuries and inconsistency in the early part of the season, recently returning from a suspension for violating MLB's foreign substance policy.
The Mets have struggled with injuries in their rotation and need Scherzer and Verlander to provide stability.
Scherzer expects to make his next start during the Mets' road trip but his status remains uncertain.
Left-hander David Peterson was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to start in Scherzer's place.
