threw to live batters on Friday for the first time since he last pitched on Sept. 12 and went on the injured list with a right shoulder strain.
Throwing two innings of a simulated game against Rangers teammates, Scherzer threw nearly 40 pitches and left the field with fists bumps for manager Bruce Bochy and pitching coach Mike Maddux. "I felt good," he said."I've got to recover. I've got to see how I wake up tomorrow and see what this does to the arm.""That's not my decision," he said."We'll have a discussion about it. But it's October and all hands on deck. I'll do whatever it takes to help the team."
Scherzer was in good spirits during the session, chasing after one infield popup -- and dropping it to jeers from Rangers personnel and a few players watching from the dugout. In an 18-pitch"second inning," he struck outThere was just one hard-hit ball off him in the two innings, a Garver hard grounder down the third-base line. It's possible the Rangers could use Scherzer in a relief role as their bullpen has been shaky all season with a 4.
Initial reports after Scherzer strained his right teres muscle had the Rangers saying it was unlikely Scherzer would be able to pitch in the postseason., who finished the regular season with two strong outings: seven scoreless innings to beat the Angels and then one run in 3⅓ innings against thewhile pitching on three days of rest. That was the season finale, so he would be starting Saturday's game on five days of rest.
