Max Scherzer is dealing with a tight hamstring, but expects to make his next scheduled start for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Scherzer left Wednesday's start after tossing 76 pitches. The right-hander struck out nine and walked none in six innings against the Atlanta Braves.

Scherzer said his hamstring tightened up during warm-ups before the first inning.

"I didn't injure it; I just knew it was tight," he said. "There's times where it just happens and you just got to work around it. You might not be able to step on every fastball the same way, but you can still pitch."
