LUCIE \u2014 Max Scherzer\u2019s fate to start the season will largely depend upon how he fares in a bullpen session Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A day after the right-hander was scratched from a spring training start because of hamstring discomfort, manager Buck Showalter on Sunday indicated that Scherzer is still potentially in the equation for the Mets\u2019 first turn through the rotation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s unclear if Showalter would feel comfortable enough to pitch Scherzer in Thursday\u2019s opener in Washington or if he might be pushed back at least one day. Originally, Showalter planned to give Jacob deGrom the start in the opener. But the right-hander will start the season on the injured list with a stress reaction on his right scapula.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Showalter has indicated he wants to keep his other starting pitchers \u2014 Chris Bassitt, Carlos Carrasco and Taijuan Walker \u2014 in their original alignment. Among the possibilities is deGrom\u2019s replacement (potentially Tylor Megill, David Peterson or Trevor Williams) will start the opener.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/20220327_MetsCardinalsSpringTraining046cs.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Max Scherzer\" class=\"wp-image-21765833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/20220327_MetsCardinalsSpringTraining046cs.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/20220327_MetsCardinalsSpringTraining046cs.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/20220327_MetsCardinalsSpringTraining046cs.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/20220327_MetsCardinalsSpringTraining046cs.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Max Scherzer<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Scherzer has called his hamstring discomfort a \u201chiccup\u201d and indicated he wasn\u2019t too concerned about the possibility of an extended absence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOpening Day is special,\u201d Bassitt said. \u201cBut nobody is going to be talking about Opening Day in about seven months.
