NEW YORK -- Max Scherzers next start has been pushed back a day by the Washington Nationals to give the ace right-hander extra rest.Scherzer initially was lined up to pitch Sunday night at Citi Field in the finale of a three-game series against the New York Mets. Instead, the National League East leaders plan to recall rookie right-hander Reynaldo Lopez from Triple-A Syracuse to make that start -- weather permitting. Scherzer is scheduled to go Monday at home against last-place Atlanta.Washington had opened a 10?-game cushion over the second-place Mets going into Saturday night.Nationals manager Dusty Baker said the team just wanted to give Scherzer an additional day off at this time of year. Washington was off Thursday after playing 20 consecutive days.If I can give a guy an extra day, then well give him an extra day, Baker explained. Youd love for Max to pitch against the Mets, but we felt the extra day is more important than Max pitching here.Last year, Scherzer pitched a no-hitter against the Mets at Citi Field on the final weekend.A contender for the NL Cy Young Award, Scherzer is 15-7 with a 2.89 ERA and a major league-high 238 strikeouts in 28 starts covering 190 innings. He threw 102 pitches over eight innings Tuesday night in a 3-2 victory at Philadelphia, winning his third straight start.The 22-year-old Lopez made his major league debut July 19 and is 2-2 with a 5.33 ERA in five starts for the Nationals. cheap nfl jerseys .

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Stanford and Arizona both had designs on winning their respective divisions heading into the Pac-12 season.A string of injuries in both programs have changed their courses a bit. The division titles are all but out of reach, so Saturday nights game in the desert is more about regaining momentum and moving toward bowl eligibility.Were two teams with talent and ability and were both dealing with injuries, Stanford coach David Shaw said. When healthy, were both one of the top teams in the league.The Cardinal were the defending Pac-12 champions and appeared to be a favorite to repeat after opening the season with three strong wins. A blowout loss to then-No. 10 Washington followed, triggering Stanfords first three-game losing streak in the Pac-12 since 2008, leaving the Cardinal needing two wins to become bowl eligible.Stanford (4-3, 2/3 Pac-12) has not been able to rely heavily on Christian McCaffrey, thanks to an undisclosed injury suffered against Washington State on Oct. 8. Last years Heisman Trophy runner-up did not play against Notre Dame and was held mostly in check in a loss to Colorado last week.The Cardinal will not have cornerback Elijah Holder and fullback Daniel Marx against Arizona, with offensive linemen David Bright and Johnny Caspers both listed as questionable.Arizona bounced back from an opening loss to BYU with a pair of victories, but has been decimated by injuries since then, leaving coach Rich Rodriguezs streak of bowl games in jeopardy.The Wildcats (2-5, 0-4) have seen their top two quarterbacks go down with injury and were forced to move receiver Samajie Grant to running back due to injuries and off-the-field issues. Quarterbacks Anu Solomon and Brandon Dawkins were back at practice this week, but running back Nick Wilson will be out an extended period of time after suffering a new injury in Arizonas last game against Southern California.Eventually you feel this isnt going to happen every year and its a freak-of-nature tyype of thing, Rodriguez said.ddddddddddddIts kind of strange. Its never happened to us and then last year it was the middle linebacker and this year its the quarterbacks and running backs. Its bad luck. Its just one of those things.A few more things to look for when the Wildcats host the Cardinal on Saturday night:STANFORD QB: Stanford has been mired in an offensive slump, so Shaw made the decision to name junior Kelly Chryst as the starting quarterback over fifth-year senior Ryan Burns. Burns threw for 1,058 yards and five touchdowns with seven interceptions while going 4-3 as Stanfords starter. Chryst, the son of former 49ers offensive coordinator Geep Chryst, has appeared in 10 games over the past two years, throwing for 122 yards on 12-of-27 passing.ARIZONA QB: Rodriguez will have a decision to make this week with neither Solomon nor Dawkins appearing on the teams injury report for the first time since the opening game of the season. Dawkins was the starter in both of Arizonas wins, but did not play against USC on Oct. 15 due to a concussion. Solomon, Arizonas starter to open the past three seasons, has not played since suffering a knee injury in practice after the opening loss to BYU. Rodriguez has not tipped his hand on who will start against Stanford.WEAKNESS VS. WEAKNESS: Stanford has dropped into an offensive funk of epic proportions. Once one of the nations best power-football teams, the Cardinal entered Saturdays game last in the FBS in total offense with 299.1 yards per game. Stanford has scored 10 touchdowns all season and is 127th of 128 FBS teams in scoring offense at 17 points per game. Good news for the Cardinal is that their weakness will be going up against Arizonas. The Wildcats are 114th in total defense, giving up an average of 474.6 yards, and allow 33 points per game, 102nd nationally. Something has to give.
