Texas Rangers ace Max Scherzer reportedly cut short a throwing session on Saturday but has clarity on his latest injury setback.
pitcher Max Scherzer told reporters in Colorado that he’s dealing with a nerve issue, and not a ligament issue, and that has set back his recovery from a herniated disc.Scherzer hasn’t pitched since his rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock last month, though he has had throwing sessions. It was originally thought that his thumb issue was due to ligament irritation in his neck.
He reportedly threw without issue on Friday but stopped a throwing session on Saturday with what was called triceps soreness. In his one rehab game he pitched 2 1/3 innings, giving up five hits, three runs and no walks. He struck out four. He threw 52 pitches, 32 of which were strikes. He faced 11 hitters.
