Fantasy Impact:
Scherzer has been throwing independently and his conditioning appears to be at a typical spring training level despite the recent signing. He will make his Grapefruit League debut on Saturday against Philadelphia and hopes to pitch multiple innings. Scherzer's readiness for the start of the regular season could result in Jose Berrios moving to a long relief role.
