Max Scherzer's Shoulder Injury Keeps Him Off Rangers' ALDS Roster

Max Scherzer will not be on the Texas Rangers' playoff roster for the division series against the Baltimore Orioles due to a shoulder issue, while John Means was also left off the Orioles' roster due to a sore elbow. Scherzer threw two innings in a simulated game and felt good, but the team decided they didn't have enough information to include him. Means' injury was unexpected, but the Orioles expect him to be ready for the ALCS if they advance. The Orioles will carry 14 position players and 12 pitchers for the ALDS.
