The Chicago Cubs will be playing the Washington Nationals in the NLDS next week.
However, significant news happened as Nationals' ace Max Scherzer left the game with a lower-body injury after the trainer Paul Lessard came out to see him in the fourth inning on Saturday night. The MRI revealed a hamstring cramp and the x-rays were negative for any break or significant damage. He should be ready to go in Game 1 against the Cubs against Jon Lester or Kyle Hendricks. The 33-year old ace has a 2.51 ERA with 268 strikeouts this season.
