Max Scherzer is doing well
His outing in the minors went well.
Afterwards, Scherzer told reporters in Buffalo that he was mostly trying to shake off rust. Felt he was pulling his slider glove-side at times.
Scherzer: “I'm happy because my forearm's in a great spot. And that really allows me to throw the ball the way I want to.”

Shane Bieber, meanwhile, did well in Florida.
Shane Bieber threw 49 pitches, had a 55% zone rate, induced a 31% whiff rate, and maintained his stuff throughout the outing.

What a great month
Cristopher Sanchez will be the National League Pitcher of the Month… but Jacob Misiorowski is also a strong contender.
