Washington Nationals pregame notes: Max Scherzer setback; Kyle Barraclough returns

Towards the end of his post game gaggle with reporters yesterday, Max Scherzer offered a cautious note after saying he felt fine coming out of his first start since July 6th, after he’d spent a few weeks on the Injured List with what was diagnosed as scapulothoracic bursitis.

“I felt good,” Scherzer explained. “I was out there, and just felt rested today. You don’t pitch for a couple weeks, the command is kind of off, so I kind of anticipated that coming in, and just tried to figure out what I was going to be able to execute today.
