Max Scherzer - Page 28 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

In holding pattern Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Scherzer (shoulder) remains in a "holding pattern," MLB.com reports.

Impact Bochy said Scherzer met with a team physician on Friday, but did not have any details to offer regarding the meeting. Earlier in the week, Bochy indicated that the pitcher is "just not ready" and that appears to be situation at this time. The Rangers will continue to evaluate Scherzer regularly over the final month of the season.

No longer pitching Friday Scherzer (shoulder) will not make a rehab start Friday as originally expected, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Impact Scherzer has had a frustrating season caused by a series of injuries, most recently a shoulder issue. He was set to start with Double-A Frisco on Friday with an eye toward a quick return from the injured list thereafter, but he'll now be delayed in his activation from the injured list. No reason was provided by the team, except that Scherzer was not ready to take the mound.

Impact Scherzer threw another bullpen session Tuesday, which Bochy said went "really well." Provided he gets through Friday's rehab outing without any complications, the veteran right-hander should slot back into the Rangers' rotation on Wednesday in Chicago. Scherzer has been sidelined for the entirety of August due to right shoulder fatigue but has bounced back nicely since being administered a nerve injection.

Might be back early next week The Rangers are hopeful Scherzer (shoulder) can return as soon as early next week, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Scherzer has experienced relief with his right shoulder following a nerve injection, having completed another bullpen session Sunday. He's slated to face hitters Wednesday either in a live batting practice session or perhaps a rehab start. If that goes well, Scherzer appears in line to return next week against the White Sox.

Impact The right-hander threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Friday and was quickly back on the mound Sunday, which is encouraging as he makes his return from a bout of shoulder soreness that required a nerve injection. Scherzer last took the mound for Texas in late July, and he could be back in the rotation before the end of August if he can continue trending in the right direction Wednesday.

Tosses 25 pitches Friday Scherzer (shoulder) threw 25 pitches in his bullpen session Friday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Impact Scherzer noted afterwards that he's aiming to throw 40 pitches in his next session Sunday. The 40-year-old was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 2 due to right arm fatigue, and he received a nerve injection for his throwing shoulder two weeks later. Scherzer's timetable to return to the Rangers' rotation should be more clear following Sunday's throwing session.

Texas Rangers' Max Scherzer welcomes minimums for starting pitchers, but with caveat A report said the league is considering implementing mandatory innings minimums for starting pitchers as the MLB’s next radical rule change.

Slated for bullpen session Friday Scherzer (shoulder) said Thursday that he's "turned a corner" and plans to throw a bullpen session Friday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Scherzer received a nerve injection for his right shoulder which has helped him take a step forward in his recovery. He will have gone two weeks without any throwing, so the veteran right-hander will need a little time to be built back up. A clearer timetable for Scherzer's return could be available in the coming days.

Impact Scherzer was sent in for a precautionary MRI earlier this week after he had struggled to bounce back from right shoulder fatigue, an issue he contended with during his most recent start July 30 before landing on the injured list three days later. The recent diagnostic tests apparently didn't reveal anything too concerning, and Scherzer's condition finally seems to be trending back up again now after getting the injection. The veteran right-hander is still without a clear timeline for his return from the IL, and a target date likely won't come into focus until he's cleared to start throwing again.

AUGUST 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoing MRI Monday Scherzer (shoulder) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Scherzer has missed nearly two weeks of action with right shoulder fatigue and has not progressed as hoped, so he's been sent back to Dallas for further evaluation, which will include an MRI. There might be more information available on Scherzer's status later Monday or perhaps Tuesday once the test results are in. He'll need to ramp things back up before returning, so even if the MRI comes back clean, it's going to be a while before Scherzer pitches for the Rangers again.

AUGUST 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to receive further evaluation Scherzer (shoulder) returned to Texas on Sunday to receive further evaluation from team doctors, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 2 with right shoulder fatigue, Scherzer had been hopeful to return when first eligible Thursday or shortly thereafter. However, an activation no longer appears imminent for Scherzer, as his shoulder hasn't responded to extra rest as well as the Rangers had anticipated. The Rangers will determine the next steps for the veteran right-hander once he's evaluated further, but with his stay on the IL likely extending into late August if not September, fantasy managers in redraft leagues might not be able to afford to hold him much longer. With Nathan Eovaldi (side) also returning to Texas for further examination and likely to have his next start pushed back, the Rangers could have spots in the rotation available for both Jose Urena and Cody Bradford in the short term.

Rangers put Max Scherzer put on 15-day IL with right shoulder fatigue

Three-time Cy Young Award winner and baseball’s career active strikeout leader Max Scherzer has been placed on the 15-day injured list because of right shoulder fatigue

AUGUST 2, 2024 • Associated Press

Placed on IL with arm fatigue The Rangers placed Scherzer on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 31, due to right shoulder fatigue.

Impact Scherzer noted after his last start Tuesday against St. Louis that he felt his arm fatigued for the second time in three starts, per MLB.com. He took the loss against the Cardinals after allowing three runs on hour hits and one walk while striking out five across four innings and 68 pitches. A minimum stint on the injured list would put Scherzer on track to return to the Rangers' rotation Aug. 15, but he could be held out longer to make sure his shoulder is 100 percent healthy. In his eight starts since returning from offseason back surgery in June, Scherzer has gone 2-4 with a 3.89 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 38:8 K:BB across 39.1 innings. Walter Pennington was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Impact Scherzer said he felt better Tuesday than he did in the start against the Orioles on July 20, when he lasted just two innings and 53 pitches. While this news may worry fantasy managers, the 40-year-old right-hander didn't sound too concerned following the game. "The good news is I didn't have any zings," Scherzer said. "That's No. 1. I didn't hurt myself and I didn't strain anything." He tentatively lines up to pitch Sunday at home against the Red Sox.
