Max Scherzer is scheduled to make a rehab start with Double-A Frisco on Friday and could be inserted into the Texas Rangers rotation next week against the Chicago White Sox.
manager Bruce Bochy told reporters before Wednesday's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates that Scherzer feels good after his Tuesday bullpen session.
Scherzer is scheduled to make a rehab start for Double-A Frisco on Friday, a night after Jacob deGrom makes his first rehab start for the RoughRiders. If Scherzer comes out of the appearance feeling good, he's likely to start the middle game of the Rangers three-game series against the White Sox at 7:10 p.m. Wednesday at Guaranteed Rate Field.
"He had a really good session ," Bochy told Bally Sports Southwest. "He had all his pitches. It's always good to see your guys out there and Max is one of our guys. He thinks he can still win ballgames and compete at the bar that he has set. So that could be important for him to finish strong." Scherzer had back surgery in December and missed all of spring training. During his recovery in April, his return was delayed by a nerve issue. Right shoulder fatigue has bothered him during most of his eight starts since returning on June 23. He is 2-4 with a 3.89 ERA with 38 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings.. He went 4-2 with a 3.20 ERA in eight starts for the Rangers in 2023 after being acquired in a deadline trade with the Mets.
