Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez was scratched from Tuesday's game against the Nationals because he hasn't thrown the past two days because of a court appearance.
Rodriguez is required to give the court updates on anger management sessions.
"I haven't played catch in the last two days," Rodriguez said. "I didn't do anything, so I don't want an accident. I don't know how my arm would feel."
