Jacob deGrom went on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a stress reaction on his right shoulder blade as the New York Mets set their 28-man active roster ...

In other moves by the Mets, left-hander Joey Lucchesi was put on the 60-Day IL as he recovers from reconstructive elbow surgery, right-hander Jake Reed went on the 10-day IL with a strained muscle in his left side, and lefty David Peterson was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. The two-time National League Cy Young Award winner got hurt late in spring training and won't throw for about a month, meaning he is likely out at least until June. The right-handed deGrom did not play in a game after July 7 last season, when he was sidelined by an elbow sprain in his pitching arm. Tylor Megill was given the Game 1 start by new Mets manager Buck Showalter for Thursday night's scheduled opener at the Washington Nationals.

Brandon Nimmo is not in the lineup as of this afternoon, but is "testing" his neck on the field in hopes that he can play.

Meanwhile, Jeff McNeil will shift to left field, giving Robinson Canó a start at second base. - Jeff McNeil - LF - Robinson Canó - 2B

Your Opening Day dose of New York Mets and MLB news, notes, and links.

ESPN tried to predict how the 2022 season will unfold. On the latest episode of A Pod of their Own, the Mets are now at METSCON 1 given their injuries to start the season. The Mets will open the season with both Travis Jankowski and Chasen Shreve on the roster.

Scherzer, 37, is coming off a strong 2021 season in which he pitched to a 2.46 ERA and 6.56 K/BB ratio in 179 1/3 innings for the Nationals and Dodgers. For his efforts, the future Hall of Famer finished third in the NL Cy Young balloting. Unlike deGrom's injury, Scherzer's does not appear to be serious. The decorated right-hander was scratched from a scheduled intrasquad start last Saturday because of right hamstring tightness, and afterward he characterized himself as day-to-day.

The home opener will be on Jackie Robinson Day, April 15, when the squad opens a three-game set with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was on the 2016 and 2018 opening rosters with the San Diego Padres, playing 334 games over five seasons out west. He is one of five outfielders on the slate, joining Mark Canha, Starling Marte, Brandon Nimmo and Dom Smith for the Opening Weekend trip to Washington.

Fans of other teams will rip the Mets when they realize who is getting the ball on Opening Day. Let them have it. Megill swiped right on the idea. Megill entered camp hoping for a roster spot. While Jones had won a Cy Young in the past, he’s a forgettable Mets player. Despite not being the top choice when the lockout ended, Megill has emerged as the most logical one given the short notice. Tylor Megill is set to do something pretty special.

The NL East rivals will kick off the new year at Nationals Park.

The Nationals have the great Juan Soto, pound for pound the best hitter in the sport, and not much beyond him. It's not how you start though, it's how you finish, and the Mets have the offensive firepower to cover for pitching deficiencies. In the end though, the Mets will be at their best only when deGrom and Scherzer are starting two out of every five games. DeGrom and Scherzer are hurt, though at least Scherzer is on track to start Friday. DeGrom will miss several weeks. Other information on the Mets vs. The 7:05 start was then further delayed by more bad weather, and the teams will finally get going at 8:20 p.m. ET.

And away we go ... The weather outside may be frightful, but the vibe inside Nationals Park tonight should be delightful, because there's going to ...

The lefty seemed to be in a good mental place this spring, and pitched pretty well on top of that. The weather outside may be frightful, but the vibe inside Nationals Park tonight should be delightful, because there’s going to be a ballgame. That group will be going up against surprise Mets opening day starter Tylor Megill, who gets the ball because Jacob deGrom is injured and Max Scherzer is still aiming for Friday night. It’s still going to be cold and possibly windy, so if you’re coming to the ballpark, be sure to bundle up. The Nationals lineup is as expected. Patrick Corbin pitches for the Nationals, the second opening day start of his career but his first for this team.

Starting pitcher Max Scherzer (hamstring) says he's 'good to go' for the New York Mets on Friday.

It's not going to be fun, knowing the kind of player and competitor he is. "You get used to it -- you get used to playing for another team. "It's going to be fun. Loud applause greeted Scherzer when he came out of the dugout for pregame introductions before Game 1 on Thursday night. "Him leaving last year was tough, for me, especially. "I knew it was a hiccup.

At the start of the second year of a dramatic reinvention of the franchise, the Mets believe they have the pieces in place to truly compete.

A lot of moves were made in the off-season to bolster the talent in here. The Phillies didn’t spend much on defense, but they added the powerful bats of outfielders Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber for a combined $179 million. They have, to name a few important figures, a new manager, a new general manager and a new team owner — the last of that bunch making the biggest difference in the direction of any franchise. The team to beat will be Atlanta, the reigning World Series champion. It’s been a while.” (He lured the two-way star Shohei Ohtani, the 2021 American League Most Valuable Player, to Anaheim, Calif., from Japan.) The Mets’ manager, Buck Showalter, who has a .506 career winning percentage across 20 seasons with four different teams, is the most experienced skipper they have employed in some time. But after a winter of further revamping, one of the most highly anticipated seasons in recent team history is here, scheduled to begin against the Nationals on Thursday night in Washington, D.C. The reasons to be more bullish on the Mets than in the past are plenty. “Everybody has got to be at their best.” The Nationals are rebuilding, but the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies committed sizable chunks of money on upgrades this winter. “There’s a lot of talent in here. Only the perennially contending Los Angeles Dodgers ($293 million, for luxury tax purposes) have a higher payroll in M.L.B. than the Mets’ franchise record mark of $286 million. The past decade for the Mets has been defined more by losses and drama than winning and consistent success.

The New York Mets Opening Day roster won't have a truly reliable left-handed ...

The Mets can find outs from their right-handed relievers regardless of who is at the plate. The state of the Mets starting rotation isn’t quite the same as it was only about a week ago. Far more important than the lack of trust in Rodriguez and Shreve is the health of the starting pitchers. The absence of Jacob deGrom is troublesome. They added Scherzer in November. After the lockout ended, they were able to snatch up Chris Bassitt in a trade. If you’re concerned about the left-handed reliever situation on the Mets Opening Day roster, you’re not alone.

Mets pitcher Max Scherzer (hamstring) checked all of the boxes in his fielding test and will take the mound on Friday night against the Nationals.

I don't care how you try to simulate things, until you actually get in a game you just don't know. As a result of deGrom's injury, along with Scherzer's hamstring hiccup, second-year hurler Tylor Megill will receive an unlikely nod as the Mets' Opening Day starter this season. The Mets had their entire rotation scheduled on an extra day of rest during spring training.

Confidence in the 2022 squad is higher than ever and so are the expectations. “I mean World Series or bust right?” questioned Mets fan Ryan Jones. What You Need ...

The kid is getting a shot today, we got Scherzer going tomorrow, we will be fine,” explained George Kay. “We are built to win now. The season opener allowed fans to catch some of the off season acquisitions in orange and blue for first time. “It is what it is.

Mets starter Tylor Megill shattered all expectations in his first career Opening Day start, leading his team to a victory over the Nationals to open up the ...

With Thursday evening's victory, they now improve to 40-21 all-time in their first game of the regular-season. Soto got the Nats' on the board with a solo home run off Trevor May in the bottom of the sixth. Despite a slow start, the Mets' bats scored a total of five runs on the night. With the Mets up 4-1 in the top of the seventh, J.D. Davis led off with a double, before Francisco Lindor drove him home with an RBI single to the opposite field. Megill first induced a 5-4-3 inning-ending double play with two men on and one-out in the third. Megill worked a 1-2-3 first inning with a pair of strikeouts and a soft grounder off the bat of superstar Juan Soto.

Brandon Nimmo avoided the injured list to begin the season, but wasn't deemed ready for starting duty as the Mets opened their season Thursday night.

The Mets lost the first eight openers in franchise history, but were 39-13 since then. The Mets were 39-21 in season openers heading into Thursday night. The Mets’ 28-man roster didn’t include any real surprises: Sean Reid-Foley was added as an extra arm in the bullpen.

Juan Soto hit a homer, Max Scherzer was warmly embraced, Patrick Corbin was up and down and that Nationals' season opened with a 5-1 loss at home.

“That fifth there, they get the [leadoff] bunt and I’m just frustrated with the walk to get a couple guys on," said Corbin, whose final line was four innings plus four batters, two earned runs, a pair of walks and four strikeouts. After Ruiz, who finished with a single and double, the Nationals’ sixth through ninth hitters went 1 for 13 with six strikeouts. Ruiz — also netted in the trade that sent Scherzer and Trea Turner to the Los Angeles Dodgers — threw out a runner in the first, doubled in the second and capped a stunning relay to finish the fourth. The Mets scored again when Starling Marte dribbled a grounder to third, though Arano otherwise limited the damage. D.C. has learned to not take that for granted in early April. Two springs ago, in the afterglow of a championship, the home opener and banner raising were canceled by the coronavirus pandemic. Victor Robles fielded it and fired wide of Alcides Escobar, leaving the shortstop to scramble in shallow center. So after those disappointments — not to mention a three-month lockout this winter — what was a messy forecast Thursday, amounting to a few extra hours of waiting in the rain? Max Scherzer, the leader of that title team, the Hall of Fame-bound pitcher who will face the Nationals as a visiting pitcher Friday, being recognized with a video tribute, ending with Scherzer tipping his cap to a standing, cheering crowd. There was the new: Patrick Corbin breaking a decade-long streak of either Scherzer or Stephen Strasburg starting Opening Day for Washington. Veterans César Hernández and Nelson Cruz sandwiching Soto in the batting order. With runners on the corners, though, Thomas had a chance to be a two-out spark. I think that they’re going to be on base for me and I think we’re going to be fine.” Nationals Park, the site of what has become an annual Opening Day matchup for the division rivals, had all but emptied out, thanks to a 76-minute rain delay that pushed the game toward when the nearby Metro station would close its doors.

The Washington Nationals take on the New York Mets in D.C. for their first regular season game of 2022. Here's what you need to know for opening day.

Fans who arrived at the game may notice that one of Navy Yard’s popular sports bars might not have their “streatery” open for pregame action. Nationals Park opened its gates to fans after 5 p.m., said Jonathan Stahl, the Nationals’ vice president of experience and hospitality. Cash will not be accepted this year at Nationals Park to help keep lines moving faster. Area favorites you’ll find on the menu this year include Rockland’s BBQ, Hard Times Chili, Duke’s Grocery and Roaming Rooster. This year, fans are only permitted to bring in see-through and clear bags. The game was slated to begin at 7:05 p.m. following a three-hour delay for inclement weather, but that was pushed back again. They always plan ahead to be off from work during Opening Day, they said. Shuttle buses were provided for those heading south of Navy Yard. Diaper bags and medical bags will be the exception, but you will have to go through the ADA-Family Lane, along the center field gate and your bag will be inspected the old way. Two fans who are part of a group of four who have been to every opening day said that the tradition is a bond of friendship. “It’s an American tradition, we’re pretty big baseball fans and we haven’t been able to do this kind of thing in a couple of years,” said Darren, at the Nats game with his family from Kensington, Maryland. “It’s great to bring them out.” And for fans who braved the delays and the rainy weather to the end of the game, trains were suspended between Congress Heights and the Navy Yard for a police investigation.

Buck Showalter earned his first win as Mets manager, and the Amazin's improved to 40-21 to continue their streak owning the best record in Major League ...

One superb fill-in Tylor Megill start against the Nationals coupled with a Mets lineup that actually delivered with runners in scoring position helped usher ...

Jeff McNeil’s two-out RBI single against Austin Voth buried the Nationals in a four-run hole. Davis followed with a walk before Corbin got the next two outs. Resembling the pitcher who helped carry the Mets rotation for about a two-month stretch last season, Megill fired five shutout innings and allowed three hits with six strikeouts. The right-hander peaked at 99 mph in the first inning and kept his fastball in the 97-98 mph range for most of his outing. Trevor May entered and allowed Juan Soto’s 99th career homer, a solo blast on a 96 mph fastball that stayed over the plate. The Mets improved to 40-21 all-time in openers for a .656 winning percentage that is by far MLB’s best.

After a slow start against Patrick Corbin, the Mets had a chance to break through in the top of the fourth, but Pete Alonso was cut down at the plate trying to ...

Perhaps his biggest moment was striking out Juan Soto with two on in the third inning. The Mets pulled out a delayed Opening Day victory Thursday night. Both teams started slowly after weather delayed the start time.

Pete Alonso has left the game after getting hit by a pitch. Starling Marte voiced his displeasure, as it's the 3rd time a Nationals pitcher has hit a Met ...

Though not gifted with speed, he tried and failed to score from first on a fourth-inning double to the wall in left-center by Eduardo Escobar. Alonso chugged around third, where he appeared to slip, but kept hobbling toward home. After the hit by pitch, he took a few steps toward first base, then was convinced by manager Buck Showalter to exit the game. What might have been a thoroughly frustrating season opener for Alonso turned in the sixth inning, when his second single of the night, a looper to right, started a rally. McCann threw behind Escobar. Alonso caught the ball and lunged to where Escobar should have been. A 94-mph slider from Mason Thompson grazed his shoulder and hit the helmet flap that protects his face. Got all my teeth, no concussion, I’m all good,” said Alonso, who added that he was checked for a concussion, but cleared the protocols.

WASHINGTON -- It does not take a keen-eyed advance scout to understand the key to subduing the 2022 Nationals: do not let Juan Soto beat you.

Why not a season? And while Megill still has much to prove before he can even approach that sort of conversation, he is already forcing the Mets to consider him in a different light -- not just as an Opening Day substitute, but the type of pitcher who could stick in the rotation all year. Why not a career? It’s not a dissimilar arc to deGrom, another unheralded prospect who needed circumstances to break in his favor before the world began viewing him for what he was. “He had a lot of poise, a lot of moxie. He hoped to keep the jersey from his start as a souvenir. \n","providerName":"Twitter","providerUrl":"https://twitter.com","type":"rich","width":550,"__typename":"ExternalEmbedContent"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tylor-megill-leads-mets-to-opening-day-win-over-nationals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8":{"data":{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tylor-megill-leads-mets-to-opening-day-win-over-nationals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.8.data","typename":"ExternalEmbedContent"},"type":"oembed","__typename":"ExternalEmbed"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"tylor-megill-leads-mets-to-opening-day-win-over-nationals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.9":{"content":"It’s not a dissimilar arc to deGrom, another unheralded prospect who needed circumstances to break in his favor before the world began viewing him for what he was.

He sequenced a changeup for a strike, then another one away. Why not a career?\n\n“He did his part tonight,” Showalter said. Like deGrom, Megill has experienced a significant velocity jump, going from a low-90s pitcher two years ago to the version on display at Nationals Park. Like deGrom, Megill possesses what Showalter referred to as a “slow heartbeat.” (When Showalter entered the pregame clubhouse to inform Megill about what became a 76-minute rain delay, he was amazed to find Megill more intent on discussing Tiger Woods’ performance in the Masters.)\n\nWhile deGrom comparisons may be unfair to anyone, the point revolves more around Megill’s potential. Tabbed for an Opening Day start, Megill has a prime opportunity to stick in the rotation for at least two months with deGrom absent.

Showalter is with his fifth major league team as a skipper, including the Yankees from 1992-95 and, most recently, the Orioles from 2010-18. Alonso got hit by a pitch from reliever Mason Thompson in the ninth and reached immediately for his mouth, but said afterward: “All good.

Megill (1-0) entered the day with the least amount of time in the majors of any Mets opening day starting pitcher in club history, but drew the assignment because deGrom is starting the season on the injured list with a shoulder blade problem.

Three-time NL Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer will make his first Mets appearance Friday — and it'll be his return to Nationals Park after pitching for Washington for 6 1/2 seasons. Houston Astros (1-0) vs. Nationals: Strasburg was put on the 10-day IL as he continues his return from thoracic outlet surgery.

But then, Tylor Megill reached back and did one better, dialing up a 98-mph fastball a few inches higher to fan one of the top hitters in Major League Baseball ...

Throughout the night, Megill went to work with a three-pitch arsenal of a fastball, slider and changeup. During the spring, Megill said he has an appreciation for the daily grind of being a starting pitcher. "There’s a lot of people that throw hard, but I like the command better." "He was awesome. "Having him set the tone like that on opening night, that was awesome. It was a really good start for him to the season." He ended that frame with a strikeout of Soto and soft groundball from Nelson Cruz up the middle. "I just wanted to go out there and get the ball rolling for the team." He was electric. It was good because it meant we were swinging the bat some and then he had one inning where I thought he really emptied the tank too. That was fun to watch," Showalter said. "You like to see guys have another little gear there."

The Mets rode a solid start from Tylor Megill and timely hitting to an Opening Day victory.

After Megill gave the team all they could ask for over five scoreless, May’s blip was the only damage against a bullpen that otherwise looked solid. Robinson Cano got the Mets’ first scoring rally going by leading off the fifth with a bunt single to beat the shift. While the offense took a few innings to get untracked, unexpected Opening Day starter Tylor Megill kept the game scoreless early.

MLB's Opening Day saw the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals, 5-1, although first baseman Pete Alonso was forced to leave the game.

Chicago opens the season Friday at the Detroit Tigers. ESPN reports the White Sox placed Moncada on the injured list Thursday with a strained right oblique. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Hayes “insisted it’s unrelated to the injury that bothered him last season. “I knew it wasn’t an injury,” Hayes told the Post-Gazette. “I knew it was a cramp. The New York Post reports “A 94-mph slider from Mason Thompson grazed his shoulder and hit the helmet flap that protects his face. It sounds like there’s a great chance Alonso is back in the lineup for Friday, but fantasy managers might want to make sure just in case.

While on the stand, Harvey admitted to using cocaine, as well as oxycodone and percocet. His sentencing is scheduled for June 28.” Harvey said he believes his testimony will threaten his career.

Juan Soto homered, but that was the only run the Nationals scored in a 5-1 loss to the Mets in the season opener...

We’re going to play good baseball every day, some days we’re going to win, some days you’re going to lose, you can’t win them all, but we’re going to go out there and try to go 1-0 every day.” “We’re ready to compete,” Juan Soto told reporters. “And it’s all about competing every day at the highest level, so hey, we got great fans, we really do, and they’re going to go out there and see good baseball.

A surprise insertion into the Opening Day lineup with Brandon Nimmo (stiff neck) sidelined, Cano scored two runs in his first MLB action since Sept.

Cano came through in a return somewhat overshadowed by other storylines, though not with the power hitting that he made his pinstripes signature. He extended what seemed like a harmless threat by walking to put two on with two outs, ahead of back-to-back RBI singles by Mark Canha and Jeff McNeil. “Isn’t it funny how good things seem to follow things like that?”

Robinson Cano set the tone for the Mets during their Opening Day win over the Washington Nationals.
