Wacha permitted four runs over 5 innings in a loss to the Marlins on Friday. The right-hander is 1-2 with a 6.43 ERA after showing up in the offseason on an incentive-laden, 1 year contract. Wacha had a history of shoulder problems with the Cardinals.
Michael Wacha was placed on the IL with right shoulder swelling before Sundays video game versus the Marlins, leaving the Mets with half the beginning pitchers they had in their spring training rotation mix.
Rojas dismissed the possibility of Stroman going back to take Wachas area in the rotation. Stroman is expected to pitch a simulated game on Tuesday to show his calf is recuperated and has the movement to field his position.
Ever since, Noah Syndergaard (torn ulnar security ligament), Stroman (left calf tear) and Wacha have actually been injured.
The Mets may go with a bullpen game on Wednesday in Wachas area, according to Rojas. Other possibilities might consist of Franklyn Kilome and Walker Lockett.
“After the game he talked to the personnel and let them know and then we discovered out about it.”
As the Mets wait for Marcus Stromans possible return from the hurt list in the near future, another beginning pitcher is on the sideline.
