Nationals' Max Scherzer (ankle) may miss his next start

Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer (ankle) may not make his next start on Saturday.

What It Means:

Scherzer is dealing with a sore ankle, which needed to be taped up today. If it is still bothering him, he will likely be skipped with Anibal Sanchez taking the mound against the Pittsburgh Pirates instead.

Our models have early projections for Scherzer of 8.3 strikeouts, 2.6 runs allowed, and 42.0 FanDuel points in 6 2/3 innings pitched on Saturday
