Scherzer (shoulder) threw a live batting practice session Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Scherzer resumed throwing late last week, noting that his right shoulder is now pain-free after he tweaked his mechanics. The 40-year-old is confident he will be able to rejoin the Rangers' rotation at some point this month, and the fact that he's now facing hitters suggests a rehab assignment could be looming. Scherzer has been shelved since early August due to fatigue in his pitching shoulder.
