Texas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer said he will make his season debut on Sunday against the visiting Kansas City Royals.
The Rangers, however, have yet to announce their starting pitcher for Sunday's series finale versus the Royals in Arlington, Texas.
Scherzer has been working his way back after he underwent surgery on Dec. 15 to repair a herniated disc in his back. He is also dealing with a nerve issue in his thumb.
He is 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 11 innings (three starts) with Triple-A Round Rock.
