Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer has been limited to eight starts this year after missing the first three months due to offseason back surgery and a nerve issue and landing on the injured list Aug. 2 due to right shoulder fatigue.
It's been a tough stretch for the 40-year-old, who has won three Cy Young awards and made eight All-Star teams during his phenomenal career. But Scherzer isn't thinking about retirement.
"No, not in that regard, because I've been able to go out there and compete, but I haven't been fully myself," Scherzer told reporters, per Stefan Stevenson for Sports Illustrated.
