Texas Rangers' Max Scherzer welcomes minimums for starting pitchers, but with caveat A report said the league is considering implementing mandatory innings minimums for starting pitchers as the MLB’s next radical rule change.

Max Scherzer - Slated for bullpen session Friday Scherzer (shoulder) said Thursday that he's "turned a corner" and plans to throw a bullpen session Friday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Scherzer received a nerve injection for his right shoulder which has helped him take a step forward in his recovery. He will have gone two weeks without any throwing, so the veteran right-hander will need a little time to be built back up. A clearer timetable for Scherzer's return could be available in the coming days.

Corey Seager - Day off Thursday Seager is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
Impact It's the first day off since July 23 for Seager, who has already popped seven home runs in 12 games this month. Josh Smith will fill in at shortstop and bat second.

Max Scherzer - Gets nerve injection for shoulder Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Scherzer received a nerve injection for his right shoulder and is feeling "really good," Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News...
Impact Scherzer was sent in for a precautionary MRI earlier this week after he had struggled to bounce back from right shoulder fatigue, an issue he contended with during his most recent start July 30 before landing on the injured list three days later. The recent diagnostic tests apparently didn't reveal anything too concerning, and Scherzer's condition finally seems to be trending back up again now after getting the injection. The veteran right-hander is still without a clear timeline for his return from the IL, and a target date likely won't come into focus until he's cleared to start throwing again.

Cody Bradford - Making third straight start Bradford is slated to start Thursday's game against the Twins at Globe Life Field.
Impact Bradford will be making a third consecutive appearance as a starter, an unexpected development after the Rangers moved him to the bullpen during his minor-league rehab assignment before he was activated from the 60-day injured list July 29. However, with injuries to Jon Gray (groin), Max Scherzer (shoulder) and Nathan Eovaldi (oblique) having since tested the Rangers' starting depth, Bradford looks like he could have a pathway to a rotation spot. Bradford has turned in a solid 12:1 K:BB while allowing four earned runs over 8.2 innings across his last two starts, and another strong outing Thursday should be enough to keep him ahead of Jose Urena and Dane Dunning in the rotation pecking order. Even though Eovaldi is expected to avoid an IL stint, the Rangers should have room in the rotation for two of Bradford, Urena and Dunning until at least two of Gray, Scherzer or Jacob deGrom (elbow) return from the IL.

Adolis García - Goes yard twice in Boston Garcia went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs in Wednesday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.
Impact The 31-year-old outfielder puts balls over the Green Monster off Tanner Houck in the sixth inning and Luis Garcia in the eighth, snapping a 15-game power drought in the process. While Adolis hasn't been supplying many homers lately, his bat has been coming around -- over his last 20 contests, he's slashing .303/.369/.461 with three homers, three steals, 11 runs and 13 RBI. Wednesday's performance also got Garcia to 20 long balls, a mark he's now reached in four straight seasons.

Kirby Yates - Collects 21st save Yates struck out one in a perfect 10th inning Wednesday to record his 21st save of the season in a 9-7 win over the Red Sox.
Impact The veteran right-hander needed only nine pitches (seven strikes) to carve up the heart of the Boston order. Yates still has yet to blow a save chance in 2024, and since the beginning of July he's delivered a stellar 1.13 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB through 16 innings.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Dane Dunning - No-decision in Wednesday's start Dunning came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Red Sox, giving up four runs on five hits and a walk over five-plus innings. He struck out three.
Impact Making his first start since June 16, Dunning was able to give the Rangers a solid 76 pitches (48 strikes), but he ran out of gas in the sixth inning and got the hook after serving up a Wilyer Abreu solo shot and a Masataka Yoshida single to begin the frame. With Jose Urena struggling and Texas dealing with multiple injuries to starting pitchers, Dunning's performance might have been good enough to keep him in the rotation for at least one more turn, but his 4.92 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 81:38 K:BB through 82.1 innings innings don't inspire a lot of confidence from a fantasy perspective.
