ARLINGTON, Texas — Max Scherzer has been scratched from his second scheduled rehab start because of thumb soreness. Scherzer is rehabbing from surgery in mid-December to repair a herniated disk in his lower back and says that isn't giving him any issues. The thumb soreness is similar to what the three-time Cy Young Award winner experienced last year before missing the end of the regular season and start of the playoffs for the World Series champion Texas Rangers. The 39-year-old Scherzer had been scheduled to start for Double-A Frisco at Corpus Christi on Tuesday night. He threw 52 pitches for Triple-A Round Rock last week.
