Max Scherzer Throws Light Bullpen, Remains Without Timeline
3 months agoTexas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer (shoulder) threw a light bullpen on Friday, according to MLB.com. The 40-year-old has had a difficult season as he has battled numerous injuries and faced many setbacks. He has made only eight starts this summer to the tune of a 3.89 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. The right-hander was initially scheduled to make a rehab appearance last week at Double-A but was scratched. General manager Chris Young told the media he did not have a "great update" on Scherzer's status. He further said, "I know he's frustrated and wishes he was out here pitching. I feel his pain, but we have to make sure we get him right and do it in a way that is responsible, not only to him but to the team." Fantasy managers should not expect the three-time Cy Young winner back on the major league mound anytime soon and should feel comfortable leaving him on the waiver wire for the time being.
