Wants to pitch in 2025 Scherzer (hamstring) said Sunday that he wants to pitch next season, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Impact A pending free agent, Scherzer said that he's open to returning to Texas. He was limited to just nine starts this season due to back, arm and hamstring issues, but Scherzer believes a fully healthy offseason will set him up well to pitch in 2025. Now 40 years old, Scherzer comes with durability concerns and added performance risk at this stage of his career.

Done for season The Rangers placed Scherzer on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left hamstring strain.
Impact Scherzer was originally scheduled to start Saturday's game versus Seattle, but instead he will have his season cut short as he moves to the injured list. He finishes the 2024 campaign with a 3.95 ERA and 1.15 WHIP after making just nine starts in a season riddled with shoulder, back and now hamstring injuries. Scherzer is due to become a free agent this offseason, though retirement may also be on the table for the 40-year-old righty.

Gets through four innings in return Scherzer did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Mariners on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over four innings while striking out two.
Impact Scherzer struck out two of the first three batters he faced and got through the opening frame unscathed before allowing three-consecutive men to reach in the second, leading to one run coming across for Seattle. The veteran right-hander would then cough up a leadoff homer to Julio Rodriguez to open the third and was relieved by Jack Leiter after completing four innings. Scherzer's two strikeouts on the night marked his second-lowest total of the season in that category, though the Rangers have to feel good about him walking away from the mound without any setbacks in his first start since returning from the 15-day injured list.

Activated for start The Rangers reinstated Scherzer (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Saturday versus Seattle.
Impact Shoulder problems have kept Scherzer on the injured list since Aug. 2, but he's been given the go-ahead to return to the Rangers after striking out eight batters over four shutout innings during a rehab start at Triple-A Round Rock last Saturday. He'll be welcomed back by a Mariners offense that has been relatively weak all year but boasts a .769 OPS since the start of September. Gerson Garabito was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Set to return Saturday Scherzer (shoulder) will start Saturday's game against the Mariners, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Scherzer appeared in a rehab game with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, during which he threw four shutout innings while striking out eight batters and walking one. Following his elite performance, the 40-year-old righty is now slated to make his first start in the majors since July 30, and he'll have the luxury of being welcomed back by a Mariners offense that ranks 25th in MLB with a .675 OPS on the season.

Shines in rehab start Scherzer (shoulder) allowed one walk, hit a batter and struck out eight over four scoreless innings for Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Scherzer mowed down the opposition with three perfect innings before the walk and HBP in the fourth frame. The right-hander believes the nerve issue that impacted his shoulder has been remedied. If he continues to trend well this weekend, Scherzer should rejoin the Rangers during an upcoming road trip next week.
