Max Scherzer has been enjoying another standout season for the Washington Nationals, but there was a concern on Friday.

Scherzer left his start against the San Francisco Giants after throwing just 12 pitches. He seemed to injure his leg on a pitch to the second batter of the game.

Scherzer tried to throw a warmup pitch, but it didn’t go well.

Scherzer is 5-4 with a 2.22 ERA. The three-time Cy Young Award winner has 104 strikeouts in 77 innings this season.

Scherzer said after the game that he is day-to-day with a groin injury.
