BALTIMORE -- Max Scherzer remains off the Texas Rangers' playoff roster -- at least for the division series matchup against the Baltimore Orioles.
The Orioles also announced left-hander John Means, a potential candidate to start Game 3, was left off the roster after coming up with a sore elbow after pitching a couple innings of a simulated game as the Orioles prepared for the Rangers.
Scherzer threw two innings in his own simulated game on Friday and said afterward that he felt good, but admitted the recovery process as he tries to return much earlier than expected from a shoulder issue wouldn't be easy.
