The Washington Nationals have been dealt a major blow as their ace pitcher Max Scherzer has been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season due to a shoulder injury.
Scherzer, who is a three-time Cy Young Award winner, has been a major part of the Nationals’ success this season. He had a record of 11-7 with a 3.74 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP in 24 starts. He also had 173 strikeouts in 141 innings pitched.
The Nationals had been hoping to make a deep playoff run this year and Scherzer’s absence will be a major setback for the team. The Nationals have already been without Stephen Strasburg for much of the season due to an elbow injury, and now they will be without their two top pitchers for the remainder of the regular season.
The Nationals will now have to rely on their other pitchers to step up and fill the void left by Scherzer and Strasburg. It will be a difficult task, but the Nationals have shown they can overcome adversity this season.
Scherzer’s injury is a major blow to the Nationals, but they will have to find a way to make it work without him. It will be a difficult task, but the Nationals have the talent and determination to make it work.
