Matt Williams lets Max Scherzer battle

Matt Williams lets Max Scherzer battle
JUPITER, Fla. - Nationals manager Matt Williams sent pitching coach Steve McCatty to the mound in the third inning to check on Max Scherzer. The Nats ace was running near the 55-pitch total that Williams had in mind for his new right-hander who was only making his second start of the exhibition season. "He got in a little trouble there in the last inning, but he wanted to work through that, too," Williams said. "Just a touch high in his pitch count probably, but he was feeling good so he'll...

Rizzo: "It's Michael Taylor time right now"
VIERA, Fla. - Dealing with injuries is nothing new for Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo. He was left scrambling throughout last season as the middle of his club's lineup formed a line to the disabled list. Bryce Harper, Wilson Ramos and Ryan Zimmerman all missed more than 50 games in 2014. Now, barely a week into the Grapefruit League season, Rizzo faces the predicament of replacing Denard Span, the team's offensive catalyst and best defensive outfielder. "He's a huge part of our...
