Three-time Cy Young Award winner and active career strikeout leader Max Scherzer has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder fatigue. Scherzer, who has a record of 2-4 this season, has been dealing with various health issues since his season debut on June 23 following offseason back surgery and a nerve issue in his arm.
The Texas Rangers announced the move before their game against Boston, with the placement being retroactive to Wednesday. Scherzer's recent struggles, including not pitching past the fourth inning in three of his last four starts, prompted the decision to place him on the injured list.
