Max Scherzer To Debut On Sunday
6 months agoTexas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back/thumb) will make his 2024 debut on Sunday, June 23, against the Kansas City Royals. The 39-year-old was initially scheduled to make his debut on Saturday, June 22, but instead, he will take one extra day to prepare for his season debut. Scherzer has been on the 60-day injured list since May 15 after undergoing back surgery in the offseason and was on pace to make his season debut much earlier but had to remain sidelined for some more time as he dealt with a thumb injury during the early part of the season. The three-time Cy Young winner has looked quite sharp in his two rehab starts, where he logged eight ⅔ innings with 13 punchouts and 0.92 WHIP. The right-hander should be rostered in all leagues as he should provide solid strikeout numbers during the summer and should be in line to receive several win opportunities pitching behind a competing Rangers team.
