Max Scherzer (neck) could return for Nationals on Sunday
Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer (neck) could start one game of Sunday's doubleheader against the New York Mets.
Scherzer, who has been out since August 13 due to neck tightness, may attempt to throw a bullpen session Friday, which would put him in position for a Sunday start. Even if it's not this weekend, the 33-year-old ace right-hander should be back in the Nationals' rotation within the next week. A.J. Cole will start for Washington in tonight's series opener against the Mets.
Scherzer owns a 2.25 ERA (2nd in the majors), 0.85 WHIP (1st), and 35.7 strikeout percentage (2nd) in 160 1/3 innings this season while going 12-5 across 24 starts.
