Texas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer will miss the remainder of the regular season with a right teres major strain, Rangers general manager Chris Young announced Wednesday, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News.
Young added that it’s unlikely Scherzer will return if the Rangers make the postseason, but he won’t require surgery.
The teres major is a small muscle that runs along the border of the scapula (or shoulder blade). Scherzer’s former teammate Justin Verlander missed more than one month of action earlier this season with the same injury.
