NEW YORK -- The already short-handed New York Mets saw their playoff chances dealt another significant blow when left-hander Steven Matz was scratched from his scheduled start Friday because of shoulder soreness.Matz, 9-8 with a 3.40 ERA, hasnt pitched since Aug. 14 because of tightness in his left shoulder but threw a bullpen session Wednesday and was set to return.General manager Sandy Alderson said the rookies shoulder again felt sore, one day after the bullpen session.Well see where this takes us, Alderson said. But for the next several days, that shoulder issue has to resolve itself before we would consider pitching him again.Right-hander Gabriel Ynoa, in line to follow Matz on Friday, will instead make his second major league start. The Mets had tweeted an advertisement featuring a returning Matz on Thursday, but it was quickly deleted.New York began the night tied with St. Louis and San Francisco for the two NL wild card spots. They already are missing pitchers Matt Harvey (thoracic outlet syndrome), Jacob deGrom (ulnar nerve), third baseman David Wright (neck surgery) and second baseman Neil Walker (back surgery).Noah Syndergaard is pitching with a bone spur in his pitching elbow and Asdrubal Cabrera (knee) and Yoenis Cespedes (quadriceps) are playing with lingering injuries.Im feeling some symptoms, Matz said. At this point, I dont have an answer. ... I know the difference between soreness and pain, he continued. This is a little different than regular soreness.Manager Terry Collins said it would be difficult to select Matz for a playoff start.It would be hard to get him enough innings that you could consider starting him in the postseason, Collins said. Well just have to wait to see what the next few days have in store. When youre talking about the shoulder, youre talking about serious territory, so its got to really calm down before wed consider getting him back out there. Authentic Dylan Cantrell Jersey .

LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. MOSCOW -- Russias top Olympic official expects a final decision by Sunday on whether the entire Russian team will be banned from next months games in Rio de Janeiro over allegations of state-sponsored doping.The International Olympic Committee said its executive board will meet via teleconference on Sunday to consider the issue, but added that a final decision was expected within the next seven days.The IOC is examining the legal options of a blanket ban following a report by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren that accused Russias sports ministry of overseeing doping of the countrys Olympic athletes.The issue will be finally resolved by the end of this week, probably on Sunday, Russian Olympic Committee president Alexander Zhukov said Wednesday at a meeting of the ROC.Zhukov said his committee did not discuss the McLaren report at its meeting, although he also did not rule out legal action if Russia is hit with a total ban from the games.The Court of Arbitration for Sport will issue its verdict Thursday on Russias appeal to overturn the IAAF ban on its track and field athletes for the games. The IOC will take that ruling into account before making its own decision.Zhukov said he was hopeful of winning the appeal, adding that Russias plans for the Olympics assumed the track and field team would be allowed to compete. Russia plans to send a total of 387 athletes, including 68 in track and field, he said.Of course we hope for a CAS ruling in our favor, Zhukov told state TV. It would be, Id say, a serious precedent for the other federations decisions.Regardless of how the various doping-related cases turn out, Zhukov said a Russian Olympic boycott was out of the question.These boycotts just lead to a breakup of the Olympic movement, he said. I think that Russia will never take part in any boycott.The Soviet Union boycotted the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, retaliating for the U.S.-led boycott of the 1980 Games in Moscow that followed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.ddddddddddddEarlier Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putins spokesman said a meeting between Putin and Russias Olympic athletes, previously scheduled for Thursday, would no longer take place.The IOC executive board held a meeting by teleconference on Tuesday to consider its steps in the wake of the McLaren report, which found that 28 summer and winter Olympic sports were affected by state-operated cheating in Russia.WADA and other anti-doping officials urged the IOC to consider the unprecedented step of excluding the entire Russian team from the Rio Games.The IOC said it will explore the legal options with regard to a collective ban of all Russian athletes for the Olympic Games 2016 versus the right to individual justice.The IOC also started disciplinary action against Russian sports ministry officials and others implicated in McLarens report, and said they would be denied accreditation for the Rio Games. The list includes Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko.The IOC can also let individual international federations decide to ban Russians in their own sports.The international rowing federation said Wednesday it was investigating whether Russian rowers places at the Rio Olympics could be reallocated to athletes from other countries if there would be a blanket ban on the Russian team or any other ban.Russia has five rowing crews entered for the Olympics after a sixth crew was disqualified earlier this month for a doping violation in qualifying.World Rowing also said it is undertaking a complete review of testing of Russian rowers since 2011 and has asked WADA for any evidence related to doping by Russian rowers. The McLaren report alleged 11 failed drug tests in rowing had been covered up by Russian officials.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Wilson in London contributed. ' ' '
