Max Scherzer talked on a Zoom call after being added to the NL All-Star roster on Saturday afternoon, about all the injuries and obstacles the Washington Nationals have dealt with in the first half of the season, as they’ve battled to stay afloat in the NL East. The good news, Scherzer explained, is that they will get players back in the second half who can provide a boost as the club tries to climb in the standings.
“Yeah, I mean, of course, just continue to get contributions from everybody,” Scherzer said.
“Even when [Stephen Strasburg] was down, we’ve got to see [Erick] Fedde and Joe [Ross] really go out there and they’ve stepped up and had some really, really big games for us, and it’s really great to see those guys, really pitching well.
