Texas Rangers’ Max Scherzer to miss rest of regular season with muscle strain

• Texas star out for season, unlikely for playoffs due to injury
• Scherzer, 39, joined Rangers from Mets in midseason trade

Texas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer will miss the rest of the regular season because of a strained muscle in his shoulder, the team announced Wednesday.

Rangers general manager Chris Young said it was unlikely Scherzer would be able to pitch in the postseason if Texas qualifies.
