Max Scherzer Has "Nerve Injection"
3 months agoTexas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said on Wednesday that right-hander Max Scherzer (shoulder) received a "nerve injection" and is feeling "really good." Scherzer has only made eight starts due to various injuries in 2024 and he hasn't made a start for the Rangers since July 30 due to right-shoulder fatigue. The club hasn't passed along the results of the 40-year-old three-time Cy Young winner's MRI results from earlier this week. Even if the veteran hurler is moving past his shoulder issues, he needs to build his arm back up and may not be able to rejoin Texas' starting rotation until later this month or early in September. The eight-time All-Star is no longer dominant like he was in his prime, but he's been decent in his eight starts (39 1/3 innings) with a 3.89 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 38:8 K:BB.
