Texas Rangers ace Max Scherzer isn’t likely to pitch in the playoffs.

He is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season with a strained teres major, general manager Chris Young told reporters Wedensday. The teres major is a muscle that connects the scapula to the humerus.

This news comes after the 39-year-old exited his team’s 6-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in the sixth inning due to a “right triceps spasm,” according to ESPN.
