ARLINGTON, Texas -- Three-time Cy Young Award winner and active strikeout leader Max Scherzer, who has started only once for the Texas Rangers since turning 40 last month, threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Friday and said his injuries this season haven't made him reconsider whether he wants to keep pitching.
"I've been able to go out there and compete, but I haven't been fully myself," Scherzer said after the bullpen, his first since going on the 15-day injured list two weeks ago because of shoulder fatigue. "When I've been out there competing, I still feel I can pitch at a high level.
