Max Scherzer had a second cortisone injection on Friday to help reduce the pain and inflammation to the point that he can pitch again.

Daulton Varsho (shoulder) is on track for a potential end of April season debut.

The lingering issue reared up after his third start in spring training and then again three innings into his first regular season start.
