Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer’s neck injury will push his next start back slightly, but does not sound serious.
Scherzer said Friday that he intends to throw a bullpen session Saturday. Provided that goes well, he expects to make his next start on Monday against the Miami Marlins.
Scherzer said the plan is to throw a bullpen tomorrow and start Monday. Could've thrown one today but decided to wait.

Scherzer had to see a chiropractor after leaving his last start with neck stiffness, but apparently things have checked out fine and he’s on his way to a fairly quick recovery. Good thing, too, as the Nationals need the man who has already eclipsed 200 strikeouts this season.
