Nationals right-hander Cade Cavalli has been out for the past two weeks after being diagnosed with inflammation in his throwing shoulder.318/.394/.521 clip through 465 plate appearances with Triple-A Durham. Aranda has only 15 big league games under his belt, but he’s raked at a. 293 on-base percentage but has connected on 18 home runs in 92 games. Walls is the best defender of the group, but he’s not hit well this year. The Rays look set to mix-and-match at second base while Lowe’s out, giving the last three starts at the position to Taylor Walls, Jonathan Aranda and Isaac Paredes respectively. He’s headed for further evaluation to determine treatment possibilities, but Cash indicated the club is still hopeful he’ll return to the diamond this season. Manager Kevin Cash told reporters (including Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times) that an MRI revealed some inflammation in Lowe’s back. The Rays just placed Brandon Lowe on the 10-day injured list yesterday, the second baseman’s third such stint of the 2022 season.Some other injury updates around the game: New York is five games clear of the third-seeded Cardinals, who lead the NL Central, putting the East winner in good position to join the Dodgers in earning an immediate trip to the NL Division Series. They’re a postseason lock, but securing the division is likely to come with a first-round bye as a top-two seed in the National League. At 89-55, New York holds a half-game advantage over the Braves in the NL East. Scherzer’s prompt return is obviously a boon for a Mets team battling for a division title down the stretch.
After the game, Scherzer told reporters he feels “excellent” and would be ready to rejoin the big league rotation at the beginning of next week ( via Anthony DiComo of MLB.com). He made a rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse tonight, tossing 59 pitches over 3 2/3 innings. That was a bit of a concern given that a strain in the muscle cost him around two months earlier this season, but Scherzer looks as if he’s on track to be reinstated when first eligible next Monday. The Mets have been without Max Scherzer for the past ten days, as the three-time Cy Young winner has battled some fatigue in his left oblique.
