| Houston, TX (MySportsbook) - New York Mets pitcher John Maine will miss his scheduled start against the Houston Astros on Sunday, according to the team's website.

MRI results earlier in the week came back negative, and the Mets are taking extra precaution with one of their more consistent arms. The right-hander is 9-7 with a 4.13 earned run average and 109 strikeouts in 22 starts this season. Oli |
