Has that been announced by Washington? I've seen those listings as well but they are subject to change with Max chomping at the bit to get out there. Hope they do hold him out until we leave town. Read today that Scherzer will start Saturday with a limited pitch count. Max Scherzer (back) could rejoin the Nationals' rotation as soon as Saturday against the Brewers. The Nats will decide on Friday whether Scherzer will start on Saturday or Sunday versus the Brewers, throw another simulated game or possibly make a rehab start. Manager Dave Martinez has indicated that the team has mapped out a schedule that would allow Scherzer to face the Braves as much as possible down the stretch, and that would seem to potentially line him up to start Saturday. If the righty does take the ball on Saturday, he would be on a limited pitch count, as he threw just 32 pitches during his simulated game Tuesday. Still, it would seem like the club would prefer an abbreviated outing from Scherzer than him using bullets in a rehab start. We'll find out later Friday what they decide.

Scherzer and the Nationals seem to think he is over his back injury, but they want him to build his stamina up more before they return him to the rotation. He's slated to throw around 75 pitches Saturday and should be back with the big club sometime next week. Source: Mark Zuckerman on Twitter Aug 16, 2019, 4:45 PM ET
