Scherzer, who threw 68 pitches in his last live session, could be an option to start Game 3 of this series.
Max is back. The officially placed starter on their roster for the American League Championship Series versus the on Sunday morning. Right-hander also joins Scherzer in a return from injury, giving the Rangers a palpable pitching boost before a high-stakes series against their biggest rival. Advertisement Saturday, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy seemed optimistic about Scherzer being ready for the ALCS. Scherzer has been out since Sept. 12 with a strained teres major muscle.
There was more uncertainty around Gray, who has been dealing with forearm tightness since Sept. 29. With both pitchers now set on the roster, the bigger questions will center on how they will be used. If Scherzer were to start Game 3, he would also be in line for a potential Game 7. Scherzer has a 3.58 postseason ERA in 27 career appearances. Gray will be more likely to come out of the bullpen, where he could be a valuable asset against a Houston lineup heavy on right-handed hitters.
