ARLINGTON, Texas — Three-time Cy Young Award winner and active strikeout leader Max Scherzer has started only once for the Texas Rangers since turning 40 last month. He threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Friday and says injuries this season haven't made him reconsider whether he wants to keep pitching. He says can still pitch at a high level. He's on the injured list because of shoulder fatigue but says he feels good after getting back on the mound. He expects to throw a longer session Sunday. Scherzer has made only eight starts since his season debut June 23 following offseason back surgery and then dealing with a nerve issue in his arm.
