Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer described himself as being in 'early February' in his recovery from offseason back surgery and is hopeful to return 'sooner than later.'
Scherzer, 39, underwent back surgery in December to address a herniated disk, and while he will begin 2024 on the injured list, his stay there might not be as long as initially expected. Rather than placing Scherzer on the 60-day IL, which would have ensured his absence for the first two months of the season, Texas put him on the 15-day list."It's kind of early February for me right now," said Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young winner.
"That was a good work day, Scherzer said."My body felt good the next day, so that was a big checkmark for me. But in my head, I'm in early February.""It's one thing to throw a bullpen," Scherzer said."It's another thing to get into a game, then you start to ramp up pitch count. So there's still a number of hurdles to cross."
Instead, Scherzer returned during Texas' ALCS win over Houston, making two appearances. He then threw three shutout innings during Game 3 of the World Series against Arizona but had to leave that contest when his back locked up. He missed the rest of the World Series.
