Max Scherzer Throws 25-Pitch Bullpen
3 months agoTexas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer (shoulder) threw 25 pitches in a bullpen session on Friday and said he will try to throw 40 pitches in another bullpen on Sunday. Scherzer also said he can still compete at a high level and sounds like a guy who plans to return in 2025. The 40-year-old three-time Cy Young winner is on a mission to return to Texas' starting rotation to close out the year despite the team being firmly out of postseason contention. He was shut down on Aug. 2 and put on the 15-day injured list due to right-shoulder fatigue, but he's been feeling much better since recently receiving a nerve injection in his arm. We won't bet against Scherzer returning this year, but the eight-time All-Star is running out of time to make a fantasy impact and is no longer the dominant ace we've come to know him as.
