The Texas Rangers have placed Max Scherzer on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder fatigue. Scherzer, who had surgery in the offseason for a herniated disc in his back, has also been dealing with thumb soreness and nerve issues. At 40 years old, Scherzer has accumulated a lot of innings in his career, making his health a top priority for the Rangers.
Despite his struggles, Scherzer has a 3.89 ERA with 38 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings this season. The three-time Cy Young winner and two-time World Series champion remains a key player for the Rangers if he can recover from his shoulder fatigue.
With Scherzer sidelined, the Rangers’ rotation now consists of Nathan Eovaldi, Andrew Heaney, Dane Dunning, and José Ureña. Lefty Cody Bradford could also be a potential addition to the rotation after a successful relief appearance.
Other pitchers like Jacob deGrom, Jon Gray, and Tyler Mahle are also dealing with injuries, further complicating the Rangers’ pitching situation. Despite the challenges, the defending champions are still in the playoff hunt, albeit facing a tough road ahead.
