The two-time Cy Young Award winner Scherzer (12-5) has been dealing with various neck soreness after he missed a game with neck spasms earlier this month. "It's his neck, but it's the other side," said Nationals manager Dusty Baker. "We're taking the cautious route." Baker said Scherzer arrived at San Diego's Petco Park earlier than usual to try and loosen his neck, but informed him that he was not able to pitch. Continue to Article

Dusty Baker spoke with reporters before the series opener about the lineups he’s been penciling in over the last few weeks as one injury after another has hit the Washington Nationals’ roster. “I’m glad that the Commissioner’s Office ain’t calling me to tell me that I don’t have four major leaguers, like in Spring Training,” Baker joked. It’s “next man up,” for the Nationals, however, as Baker has a couple times said over the last few weeks. “That’s part of a season,” Ryan Zimmerman told reporters on Thursday. “I think [Mike Rizzo] says it all the time.

The story of the St. Louis Cardinals and Rally Cat officially has more twists than an M. Night Shyamalan film. The cat, which became an unofficial mascot for the team after sparking a late-inning comeback, is now involved in a custody battle between the Cardinals and the nonprofit center that found the feline. The situation escalated Thursday after Cardinals vice president of communications Ron Watermon released a statement saying the team expected the center to return “our cat” after a mandatory 10-day waiting period, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “The St. Louis Feral Cat Outreach organization has assured us they will be returning our cat to us after a mandatory 10-day quarantine period,” Ron Watermon, the team’s vice president of communications, said in an email to a reporter Wednesday.

This Rally Cat saga has officially turned the corner from an adorable, spontaneous event to a growing controversy that could make the St. Louis Cardinals look like bad guys. After running onto the field during a Cardinals game, getting lost, and getting found, Rally Cat is now recovering in a shelter before it is adopted to a loving home. The latest update, for those following this very important Rally Cat tale, was that the team claimed it would get to keep the cat after it was recovered and done with a period in quarantine. In a forcefully worded yet factual message on their Facebook page, St. Louis Feral Cat Outreach is now claiming that the Cardinals never communicated with them about Rally Cat’s adoption plans and that no home has been chosen.
