Rangers' Max Scherzer: Set to receive further evaluation
Scherzer (shoulder) returned to Texas on Sunday to receive further evaluation from team doctors, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 2 due to right shoulder fatigue, Scherzer had been hopeful to return when first eligible Thursday or shortly thereafter. However, an activation no longer appears imminent for Scherzer, as his shoulder hasn't responded to extra rest as well as the Rangers had anticipated. The Rangers will determine the next steps for the veteran right-hander once he's evaluated further, but with his stay on the IL likely extending into late August if not September, fantasy managers in redraft leagues might not be able to afford to hold him much longer. With Nathan Eovaldi (side) also returning to Texas for further examination and likely to have his next start pushed back, the Rangers could have spots in the rotation available for both Jose Urena and Cody Bradford in the short term.
