Sim game set for Thursday Scherzer (oblique) confirmed that he'll throw a simulated game Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Scherzer will take a big step forward in his recovery after he completed an improvised "bullpen session" in the outfield Tuesday, using all of his pitches while throwing off flat ground from approximately 60 feet. The right-hander noted that he received a platelet-rich plasma shot shortly after being diagnosed with the high-grade oblique strain May 19, and the injection looks as though it may have expedited his recovery process. Scherzer said he expects to make just one rehab start before coming off the 15-day injured list, which could come next week if Thursday's live BP session goes as well as hoped. That would give Scherzer a chance at rejoining the big-league rotation before the end of June.

Hoping for just one rehab start Scherzer (oblique), who will throw a simulated game Thursday, hopes to make just one rehab start before rejoining the rotation, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact He threw off flat ground Tuesday, and given his intended timeline, a sim game Thursday followed by a rehab start next week would put him on track to return at the end of June. However, Scherzer noted the tricky nature of oblique injuries, so a June return would be a best-case scenario. Also of note, Healey reported that Scherzer got a shot of platelet-rich plasma after getting hurt.

Live BP scheduled Scherzer (oblique) is slated to throw live batting practice later this week, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact He threw off flat ground Tuesday from about 60 feet on the outfield grass. Scherzer continues to make good progress, with the scheduled live batting practice session potentially preceding game action of some kind, whether in the big leagues or on a brief rehab assignment.

Throws off flat ground Scherzer (oblique) was spotted Tuesday taking part in a flat ground throwing session in which he appeared to be using all of his pitches, David Lennon of Newsday reports.
Impact Throwing from about 60 feet out during his workout in the outfield, Scherzer wasn't pitching at full velocity, but his activity is an encouraging sign as he works his way back from a high-grade left oblique strain. The throwing session also supports the notion that Scherzer's pitching hand feels fine after it was bitten by one of his dogs just over a week ago. Scherzer should be ready to get back on a mound in the near future and then potentially face hitters in live batting practice before the Mets begin preparing for his return from the 15-day injured list.

Close to facing hitters Scherzer (oblique) is scheduled to throw live BP in the near future, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact While the Mets haven't yet revealed exactly when Scherzer will throw live BP, but it'll be a significant step in his recovery process once he ultimately faces live hitters. The right-hander initially had a return timetable of 6-to-8 weeks due to his high-grade oblique strain, but it's possible that he's able to rejoin the Mets slightly earlier than anticipated. However, it seems likely that Scherzer will require at least one rehab start prior to returning from the injured list.
