Max Scherzer at 90% as Washington Nationals wait for the ace to return...

Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo talked with 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Sports Junkies this past Wednesday about the status of 34-year-old Nats’ ace Max Scherzer, who ended up on the Injured List on July 13th (retroactive to July 10th) when a mid-back strain didn’t heal up enough for him to return to the mound.

“We’re going to find out today, he’s going to throw and see where he’s at,” Rizzo said before the finale with the Baltimore Orioles in Camden Yards.

“He felt a little bit better yesterday in his throwing program, so we’re going to see when we get to the ballpark.
