Washington Nationals Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer said:

The moment I wake, I couldn’t get out of bed. I basically just fell out of bed. Picked myself up with my left arm, and I was moving around, just couldn’t even move my [right] arm. I just knew at that point I was in a really bad spot.

In the clips below you can tell that Scherzer was definitely in a lot of pain as he spoke to reporters:

Where does he stand now? Well, it seems that Scherzer received a cortisone shot in the irritated region of his neck and back.

Doctors said it should take about 48 hours for the shot to take effect, which means it’s still possible he could pitch in a possible Game 7 on Wednesday in Houston.

Scherzer said:

That’s what the doctors believe with this nerve irritation, with a cortisone shot in there, that the neck can take 48 hours [and] it really will help subside the pain that’s being alleviated. I’m just hoping that doctors are right and that something can be possible for Game 7.
