Davey Martinez reported just one issue among all the pitchers and catchers who reported for the official start of Spring Training this week, when the Washington Nationals’ manager talked on a Zoom call with reporters for the first time this year.
“Max [Scherzer], during his conditioning, he sprained his ankle,” Martinez said.
“So we’re going to slow him down a little bit and take it day to day. So hopefully this is something that won’t hold him back too much, but like I said, we’re early in the Spring, we’re going to slow him down a little bit.
