You tell Washington Nationals’ ace Max Scherzer not to sprint before his starts...

Davey Martinez updated reporters on Washington Nationals’ ace Max Scherzer’s “recovery” from a tweaked right hamstring when he spoke in advance of the series opener against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.

“Max went out to throw right now,” Martinez said at a little after 2:00 PM Friday afternoon.

“I’ll touch base with him after and see how he feels. He’s going to be day-to-day.”

If he was going out to throw, a reporter asked, did that mean he didn’t have any pain in his hamstring, which ended his outing on Wednesday night after just one inning of work?
