Texas Rangers pitcher Max Scherzer says he is "ready to go" for the Sunday opening of the 2023 ALCS against the Houston Astros, according to the Associated Press.
"I feel good. Recovered, checked all of the boxes I possibly can," Scherzer said Friday. "So I'm ready to go."
Scherzer has not pitched since September 12 after suffering a muscle strain in his shoulder.
The veteran starter, who went 4-2 with a 3.20 ERA through eight starts and 45 regular-season innings, was not on the Texas playoff roster during the team's ALDS sweep of the Baltimore Orioles.
