Max Scherzer Could Return Next Week
3 months agoThe Texas Rangers are hoping that right-hander Max Scherzer (shoulder) will be activated from the 15-day injured list early next week. Scherzer, who has made only eight starts for Texas in 2024 due to various injuries, hasn't pitched in the big leagues since July 30 due to right-shoulder fatigue. However, he's been feeling better since receiving a nerve injection and is beginning to build his arm back up for a return to the starting rotation. The 40-year future Hall of Famer threw a bullpen session on Sunday and will face live hitters on Wednesday. If Scherzer is able to come out of Wednesday's session unscathed, he could return next week to a fantastic matchup against the Chicago White Sox, the worst team in baseball. Health is a big question for Scherzer at this point in his career, and he's also not nearly as dominant as he once was, but a matchup against the White Sox may be too hard to pass up in fantasy.
