Washington Nationals RHP Max Scherzer has been scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday vs. the Baltimore Orioles with right triceps discomfort. (Maria Torres on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Jon Lester will start in Scherzer's place vs. the O's. The veteran hurler has been the subject of trade rumors recently so it would make sense that the Nationals want to keep him healthy if they do indeed decide to move him before next week's deadline. "Mad Max" has a 7-4 record, 2.38 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 142:25 K/BB ratio over 105 1/3 innings this season.
