Max Scherzer Thinks He's Ready To Return
5 years agoWashington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back) felt good enough to play catch on Wednesday after throwing a two-inning simulated game on Tuesday. “I want to pitch in the big leagues,” Scherzer said. “I think I'm ready to pitch in the big leagues.” Manager Dave Martinez won't rule out the possibility of Scherzer starting this Saturday or Sunday against the Brewers, but they won't commit to that just yet. The ace right-hander has made just one start in the last month and has been on the injured list twice. The Nats may play it cautious with Scherzer, and he'll likely be on an abbreviated pitch count whenever he returns. That would make him a pretty risky option if he were to face Milwaukee this weekend.
