Max Scherzer Activated, Starting Thursday
5 years agoThe Washington Nationals activated starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back) from the injured list on Thursday, and he's making the start against the Pirates. Scherzer last made a start on July 25 against the Rockies and has been on the injured list twice with back issues in the second half. The 35-year-old ace could be on a bit of a shorter leash on Thursday against the floundering Bucs, but those that own him are most likely rolling the dice. Scherzer is 9-5 on the year with a 2.41 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 189 K's in 134 1/3 innings (20 starts).
