Max Scherzer's Next Start Delayed Due to Back Soreness.

New York Mets' starting pitcher Max Scherzer will not start Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics due to lingering back soreness. His appearance will be pushed to Wednesday after undergoing imaging on the area "below his scapula." The Mets will start José Butto in Scherzer's place.
