Scherzer (shoulder) allowed one walk, hit a batter and struck out eight over four scoreless innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Scherzer mowed down the opposition with three perfect innings before the walk and hit-by-pitch in the fourth frame. The right-hander believes the nerve issue that impacted his shoulder has been remedied, per MLB.com. If he responds well to his next throwing session following Saturday's rehab start, Scherzer could return from the 15-day injured list to rejoin the Rangers on their road trip this upcoming week.
