July 25, 2024 7:21 PM : Scherzer (2-3) picked up the win Thursday against the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out nine.
Analysis: Scherzer experienced arm fatigue in his previous start and pitched only two innings before being precautionarily removed. Still, he pitched on regular rest Thursday and tallied 85 pitches across six frames. Scherzer mowed down the White Sox, fanning a season-high nine batters and collecting his first win since his 2024 debut June 23. Expect the Rangers to keep a keen eye on the 39-year-old's health in the closing months of the regular season, but for now, it doesn't appear that Scherzer's brief bout with fatigue will carry much fantasy impact. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Cardinals early next week.
