NEW YORK -- Max Scherzer, who has been limited to eight starts this season, is returning to Texas to get his fatigued right shoulder checked out, Rangers general manager Chris Young said Sunday.
Scherzer was placed on the injured list Aug. 2 with fatigue and will not return when first eligible later this week.
"I know he's frustrated, but [he] just hasn't turned the corner with his shoulder," Young said before the Rangers concluded a three-game series with the New York Yankees. "Our hope is that maybe we get back and explore some other diagnostic measures and get him back on the mound.
