Scherzer did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Mariners on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over four innings while striking out two. Scherzer struck out two of the first three batters he faced and got through the opening frame unscathed before allowing three consecutive batters to reach in the second, leading to one run coming across for Seattle. The veteran right-hander then coughed up a leadoff homer to Julio Rodriguez to open the third and was relieved by Jack Leiter after completing four innings. Scherzer's two strikeouts on the night marked his second-lowest total of the season in that category, though the Rangers have to feel good about him walking away from the mound without any setbacks in his first start since returning from the 15-day injured list.

The Rangers reinstated Scherzer (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Saturday versus Seattle. Shoulder problems have kept Scherzer on the injured list since Aug. 2, but he's been given the go-ahead to return to the Rangers after striking out eight batters over four shutout innings during a rehab start at Triple-A Round Rock last Saturday. He'll be welcomed back by a Mariners offense that has been relatively weak all year but boasts a .769 OPS since the start of September. Gerson Garabito was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Scherzer (shoulder) will start Saturday's game against the Mariners, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports. Scherzer appeared in a rehab game with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, during which he threw four shutout innings while striking out eight batters and walking one. Following his elite performance, the 40-year-old righty is now slated to make his first start in the majors since July 30, and he'll have the luxury of being welcomed back by a Mariners offense that ranks 25th in MLB with a .675 OPS on the season.

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.

Scherzer (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment Saturday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports. The location of Scherzer's first rehab start is not yet known, nor is it clear how many rehab outings he might require before rejoining the Rangers' rotation. Scherzer was cleared for a rehab assignment after getting through a two-inning, live batting practice session Monday. The 40-year-old hurler has been shelved since early August due to right shoulder fatigue but recently made a mechanical adjustment which allowed the discomfort in his shoulder to dissipate.
