Rangers ace Max Scherzer, who has had a low-grade strain of the teres major muscle in his right shoulder since Sept. 13, has been added to the American League Championship Series roster ahead of Sunday’s game in Game 1 with the Astros.
Scherzer posted a 3.20 ERA across eight starts after joining the Rangers at the trade deadline. Jordan Montgomery and Nathan Eovaldi are already scheduled to start the first two games of the ALCS, so Scherzer can make his Texas postseason debut in Game 3.
John Gray, who has been sidelined with a right forearm strain since Sept. 28, has been added to the ALCS roster. The right-hander threw a live batting drill after the Rangers’ practice at Minute Maid Park on Saturday.
Gray had an up-and-down season, finishing with a 4.12 ERA, while ranking second on the pitching staff in innings pitched (157 1/3) and strikeouts (142) at the time of the injury.
Manager Bruce Bochy said after the AL Division Series that Gray was unlikely to start the game, but could be used out of the bullpen.
With the addition of Scherzer and Gray, Brock Burke and Matt Bush were left off the roster. Right-hander Jonathan Hernandez continues to suffer a right lateral strain.
