MILWAUKEE — Right shoulder tightness might be a reason behind New York Mets reliever AJ Ramos’ recent struggles. “He’s struggling throwing the ball where he (wants) to, that’s the first sign something’s going on with somebody. The club also planned to fly pitchers Hansel Robles and Gerson Bautista, along with catcher Kevin Plawecki, to Atlanta “to give us some options for the doubleheader,” Ricco said. Mets management also has been discussing the future of struggling left-handed starter Jason Vargas, who gave up five runs and six hits in three innings on Saturday. The Mets signed Vargas in the off-season to a two-year, $16 million contract.
