Max Scherzer To Throw A Bullpen On Friday
3 months agoTexas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer (shoulder) said he's "turned a corner" and plans to throw a bullpen session on Friday. Scherzer, who has made only eight starts in 2024 due to various injuries, last pitched for the Rangers on July 30 against the St. Louis Cardinals, when he allowed three earned runs in four innings for his fourth loss of the season. He's been battling right-shoulder fatigue of late but is feeling better after receiving a nerve injection this week. The 40-year-old future Hall of Famer and three-time Cy Young winner will now begin building his arm back up and could even need a short minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the Rangers' starting rotation. Scherzer can still be effective in the right matchups, but he's far from his prime and is quickly running out of time to help in fantasy leagues.
