Max Scherzer to Make Season Debut for Rangers on Saturday

The veteran pitcher returns after back surgery and thumb issues to strengthen a struggling Texas rotation.

Scherzer's return follows a challenging rehab period marked by back surgery and nerve issues.
The 39-year-old will start against the Kansas City Royals in his first 2024 appearance.
Scherzer's addition comes as the Rangers aim to improve their standing in the AL West.
He previously posted a 3.20 ERA in eight starts for Texas after being traded from the Mets.
The Rangers' rotation has been weakened by injuries to key pitchers, including Jacob deGrom.
