Anything I can do to save this guy or has the sun completely scorched it?

I believe this is a Celosia, yes?  
Assuming yes, this is an Annual. So it naturally will die at about now. I learned the hard way with a few I bought last year. Still learning about those. Here is what Planta says about annuals:

Yes, it’s a celosia! Thank you for that info - it was so pretty. Sad to see it go :(

I know! I felt the same! How can something so beautiful be so temporary?! The lesson of “Everything changes. Nothing is permanent. Enjoy the now” was real for my love of celosia. I only wish i understood more about annuals like this and how to bring them back the following year. Sadly, i thought i killed mine snd tossed it, only learning later it wasn’t my fault and I may be able to bring back. Maybe like a bulb? Dunno. 🤷🏻‍♀️
