Max Scherzer was pulled early from his last start last week despite only throwing 76 pitches, and he revealed after the outing it was due to right hamstring tightness. The future Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts both downplayed concern moving forward.
Scherzer threw a bullpen session Saturday and remains on track to start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Labor Day. “He said it feels much better. We got ahead of it, were responsible,” Roberts said.
“Everything is OK. He feels good, so he’ll be ready to make his start on Monday.
