Max Scherzer To Start For Rangers On Saturday
3 months agoTexas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer (shoulder) is set to return from the injured list and make a start against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, according to manager Bruce Bochy. In addition to Scherzer, right-handed veteran Jacob deGrom (elbow) will make his season debut on Friday after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Scherzer's last start for Texas came on July 30 and he's been out ever since due to right-shoulder fatigue. But the 40-year-old future Hall of Famer threw four shutout innings with eight strikeouts in a minor-league rehab game for Triple-A Round Rock last Saturday and has been chomping at the bit to get back to the majors to try and finish off the year strong. It's been in injury-riddled 2024 campaign for Scherzer, who has made only eight starts, but he'll be a tempting fantasy streamer in his first start back against a weak Seattle offense.
