The Latest: Scherzer throws in outfield, says ‘I’m good’

HOUSTON (AP) — The Latest on Game 6 of the World Series (all times local):

3:40 p.m.

Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer has thrown to a bullpen catcher in left field before Game 6 of the World Series.

He told a few reporters afterward, “I’m good.”

Scherzer missed his scheduled start in Game 5 on Sunday night because of nerve irritation near his left shoulder and had a cortisone shot.

He said it would take about 48 hours for the painkiller to have an impact.

Pitching coach Paul Menhart watched Scherzer throw. Scherzer hoped to be available for a Game 7 if Washington tied the series Tuesday night.
