Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer (arm) has been sidelined nearly two weeks due to fatigue issues. It sounds like the veteran right-hander is not responded well to the extra time off. That being said, Scherzer will head back to Texas for further testing. Scherzer is eligible to return from the injured list on Thursday. That's not going to happen as Scherzer is going to need to ramp up his pitching activities before returning to the mound. Fantasy managers should get another update on his status in a day or two.
Texas Rangers pitcher Max Scherzer (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 2 due to right-shoulder fatigue. Scherzer was removed from his start early on July 30 after just 68 pitches. However, the Rangers don't expect the right-hander to miss more than the 15-day minimum. According to manager Bruce Bochy, he expects the veteran to come off the IL as soon as he is eligible, which is August 17. So, fantasy managers should assume the 40-year-old will be back to face the Minnesota Twins that weekend. He should be stashed in one of your IL slots for the time being.
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer (arm) has been placed on the injured list on Friday. The right-hander has been dealing with arm fatigue over the last few weeks. It appears to be significant enough that the team has decided to give Scherzer a few weeks off to rest. The team hasn't given a timetable for his return, but it'll likely depend on how he feels after the two weeks. In a corresponding move, left-hander Walter Pennington has been recalled from Triple-A. The organization hasn't announced who is going to take the vacant spot in the rotation.
Texas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer (arm) left his start early on Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals with arm fatigue for the second time in three starts. Scherzer gave up three runs in four innings but was pulled after throwing just 68 pitches. The 40-year-old said he felt better than his start on July 20 against the Baltimore Orioles, when he gave up four runs in two innings, but clearly not as good as his start against the White Sox on July 25, when he threw six innings of one-run ball. Scherzer isn't too concerned, though, and doesn't think it's an injury and won't need to go on the injured list anytime soon. Even if the future Hall of Famer doesn't go on the IL, this is a worrying trend for a veteran pitcher with as much tread on the tires as Scherzer has. The eight-time All-Star has an ERA under 4.00 but continues to see his strikeout rate drop as he nears the tail end of his fantastic MLB career.
Texas Rangers veteran Max Scherzer fanned nine White Sox hitters Thursday en route to a 2-1 victory. The veteran went six strong innings, surrendering three hits and one run on his way to a quality start. Scherzer moves his record to 2-3 with a 3.57 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP on the season. He has 33 strikeouts in 35 innings. The Rangers are making their move in the AL West, and are now 51-52 and only five games behind in the standings. The team will need a big performance from Scherzer down the stretch if they hope to make the playoffs.
