All that is now missing: Which game — or games — will he start?
The Rangers already have Jordan Montgomeryand Nathan Eovaldi for Game 2 Monday. Manager Bruce Bochy on Saturday said the Rangers had not made any decisions beyond the first two games.If Scherzer pitches Game 3 on Wednesday in Arlington, it would also put him in line to be fully rested to start Game 7, if the series goes that far.The Rangers also returned right-hander Jon Gray to the active roster. The Rangers removed lefty Brock Burke and right-hander Matt Bush to make room.
Typically, the injury has an eight-to-12 week recovery time. Scherzer was throwing again within 10 days, on a mound a week after that and has thrown a pair of simulated games in the last 10 days.In his most recent outing, on Wednesday the day after the Rangers clinched the ALDS, he threw 68 pitches, giving the Rangers hope he could throw about 75 in a start.
Scherzer has a wealth of postseason experience, going 7-7 in 27 appearances, including 22 starts. He has a 3.58 ERA in 133.1 post season innings. He also has started a Game 7 previously, going five innings and allowing two runs against Houston in the 2019 World Series for Washington.Evan Grant , Rangers beat writer/insider.
