PHOENIX -- Texas Rangers starter Max Scherzer developed a cut on his right thumb earlier this month, but he doesn't believe it will hinder him when he takes the ball for Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night.
The Rangers' medical staff recently developed a remedy to provide a layer of protection for it -- super glue and cotton.
"A little arts and crafts in the training room at times," Scherzer said, "but that's what you've got to do."
Scherzer, acquired in a midseason trade from the New York Mets, was diagnosed with a low-grade strain of the teres muscle in his right shoulder around the middle of September but made it back to pitch in the American League Championship Series, allowing a combined seven runs in 6u2154 innings against the Houston Astros.
