Rangers' Scherzer and deGrom Eye Midseason Return
Both pitchers are making progress in their recovery from injuries, bolstering the Rangers' prospects for the upcoming season.
- Texas Rangers' pitchers Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom, both multiple Cy Young Award winners, are making progress in their recovery from injuries and are expected to return midseason.
- Scherzer underwent surgery in December to repair a herniated disk in his lower back, while deGrom is planning to resume throwing this spring following elbow surgery.
- Scherzer, who won his second World Series with the Rangers, has passed a crucial six-week post-surgery period without complications and is now focusing on building back up and keeping his arm primed.
- deGrom, who was limited to only six starts in his debut season for the Rangers due to his injury, has started a plyometric training program that he will need to complete before he can resume throwing.
- The return of Scherzer and deGrom is expected to significantly boost the Rangers' pitching rotation, setting them up to be a formidable force in the postseason.
