Nationals activate Scherzer, Werth from DL

The Washington Nationals activated right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer from the 10-day disabled list and outfielder Jayson Werth from the 60-day disabled list Monday.

Werth had not played since June 3 because of a left foot contusion. Werth fouled a ball off his foot and broke a bone, causing him to miss 75 games. Monday night, he played right field in his return because Bryce Harper remains on the 10-disabled list because of a hyperextended knee and bone bruise.

Scherzer missed two starts because of stiffness in his neck.
