Max Scherzer to Make Season Debut for Rangers Against Royals

The three-time Cy Young Award winner returns after recovering from back surgery and a nerve issue.

Scherzer has been sidelined since offseason surgery to repair a herniated disk in his lower back.
He also dealt with a nerve issue affecting his thumb, forearm, and triceps during rehab.
Scherzer was initially scheduled to pitch Saturday but delayed to ensure full recovery.
Manager Bruce Bochy stated there will be no strict pitch count for Scherzer's return.
Scherzer's last MLB appearance was in Game 3 of the World Series last fall.
