ARLINGTON, Texas -- Max Scherzer said he didn't experience continuing nerve pain after back surgery, which the Texas Rangers right-hander had been told was fairly common for his procedure.

As a result, the three-time Cy Young Award winner has felt ahead of schedule for a return since the moment he got home following surgery.

Nearly four months later, Scherzer still feels that way, as does manager Bruce Bochy.

"I really feel like we're kind of turning the corner here in terms of rehab," Scherzer said Wednesday, the day after a 40-pitch bullpen session.
