New York Mets right-hander Max Scherzer left his start earlier than expected Saturday against the Washington Nationals because he felt „fatigued“ on his left side, the team said.
Scherzer lasted just five innings and 67 pitches, departing with the score tied 1-1. The Nats went on to win 7-1.
Scherzer said afterward that it was a „precautionary move,“ given the oblique strain that caused him to land on the injured list earlier this season.
