Dealing with hamstring injury Scherzer said he exited after one inning Wednesday against the Mets due to a tweaked hamstring, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The veteran right-hander apparently first suffered the injury prior to his start against the Blue Jays last week, but he was able to pitch through it and thought he could do so again Wednesday. Catcher Kurt Suzuki felt Scherzer didn't look like himself during the first inning versus the Mets, so the Nationals decided to play it safe and pull him. The 36-year-old indicated it's a minor injury and shouldn't impact his status going forward, per Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post, but it's worth keeping an eye on his progression heading into his next turn through the rotation.

Removed with apparent injury Scherzer was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets after one inning for an undisclosed reason, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Scherzer wasn't very sharp in the first inning of Wednesday's contest, allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out one. He was examined by a trainer following the inning and was replaced by Erick Fedde to begin the second inning. It's unclear whether Scherzer will be forced to miss additional time.

Starting team's first game of week Corbin is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Mets in Washington, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact After their three-game series in Miami this past weekend was postponed due to COVID-19 concerns, the Nationals will return from a four-day break Tuesday. Manager Dave Martinez has opted to use the off days to reorder the pitching schedule, as Corbin and Max Scherzer will take the hill for the two games versus the Mets. The Nationals are only scheduled to play five games this week and may not have Stephen Strasburg (hand) available for any of those contests, so Corbin could be in store for a two-start week if Martinez opts to temporarily shorten the rotation to four men. In that scenario, Austin Voth or Erick Fedde would likely move to the bullpen to clear room for Corbin to start Sunday's series finale with the Orioles.

Punches out 10 Scherzer allowed three hits and three walks while striking out 10 across 7.1 scoreless innings Wednesday against the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Scherzer turned in a complete performance, continuing to rack up strikeouts while also avoiding the home run ball. He allowed only one extra-base hit, which he surrendered to Derek Fisher in the third frame. Despite the unique circumstances of the season, Scherzer has showcased his typical ability to rack up strikeouts and and keep opposing lineups in check. He's currently scheduled to draw his next start Tuesday against the Mets.
