Max Scherzer cleared to start potential Game 7 of World Series

Max Scherzer will start a potential Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday night, the Nationals announced Tuesday.

Scherzer threw to a bullpen catcher in left field before Game 6 on Tuesday in Houston.

He told a few reporters afterward, “I’m good.”

Scherzer missed his scheduled start in Game 5 on Sunday night because of nerve irritation near his left shoulder and had a cortisone shot.

He said it would take about 48 hours for the painkiller to have an impact.

Pitching coach Paul Menhart watched Scherzer throw. Scherzer hoped to be available for a Game 7 if Washington tied the series Tuesday night.
