The last spring training of Max Scherzer’s $210 million, seven-year contract with the Washington Nationals is not exactly beginning the way he or the team would prefer. The three-time Cy Young Award winner sprained his left ankle while running to get in shape for the season and so he is not throwing off a mound yet. That’s unlike teammates such as Stephen Strasburg who threw a session alongside other pitchers at Washington’s spring training facility in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday. The good news? Scherzer says his arm is just fine.
