The good news is the injury shouldn't keep him out long, if at all.

It's unclear if the dog bite will lengthen his stay on the IL.

At home in Florida, the Mets right-hander was bitten by one of his dogs in recent days

The bite was to Scherzer’s non-pitching (left) hand, lessening the team’s concern.

Scherzer is on the IL with an oblique strain and rehabbing for a potential July return to the Mets.
