Nationals place Max Scherzer on the 10-day disabled list

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer has been placed on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to August 15 with left neck inflammation.

What It Means:

Scherzer was scratched from his start on Friday with neck pain, but it's on the opposite side from the pain that forced him to pull himself from a start on August 1. The team has yet to announce a corresponding move.

Scherzer owns a 2.25 ERA and 3.06 xFIP over 160.1 innings pitched this season.
