Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer was scratched from Friday's start against the San Diego Padres because of a neck injury, according to MASN's Mark Zuckerman.

Scherzer last landed on the injury report Aug. 1 when he was pulled from his start against the Miami Marlins with spasms on the other side of his neck.

However, that proved to be more of a scare than anything else, and he returned to the mound Aug. 7.

When healthy, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner has been dialed in.
