Max Scherzer Dealt With Forearm Tightness, Thumb Fatigue in Monday's Start
Max Scherzer (forearm, thumb) mentioned he was dealing with some fatigue in his right thumb following Monday's start. This explains why Scherzer was pulled out after only 71 pitches over five innings of work against the New York Yankees. Scherzer also said he started feeling forearm tightness on Monday. It's worth noting that Scherzer has only made three starts this season due to thumb issues. At the moment, Scherzer is on track to make his next start against the Los Angeles Angels this weekend. However, Scherzer's status could quickly change if his tightness and fatigue don't get better in the coming days.
