Washington Nationals’ Max Scherzer suffered ankle sprain; Nats will slow him down...

Davey Martinez reported just one issue among all the pitchers and catchers who reported for the official start of Spring Training this week, when the Washington Nationals’ manager talked on a Zoom call with reporters for the first time this year.

“Max [Scherzer], during his conditioning, he sprained his ankle,” Martinez said.

“So we’re going to slow him down a little bit and take it day to day. So hopefully this is something that won’t hold him back too much, but like I said, we’re early in the Spring, we’re going to slow him down a little bit.
