Max Scherzer suffered broken nose in bunting accident
Washington Nationals star pitcher Max Scherzer broke his nose in a freak batting practice incident Tuesday afternoon, the team announced.
Scherzer was slated to start one of the Nationals’ two games Wednesday, but his status is now “TBD,” according to an official.
During a bunting drill, a ball ricocheted off Scherzer’s bat at an odd angle and hit him in the face.
