The Toronto Blue Jays are off to some major struggles this season, and a huge reason has been the injury bug, which has knocked out a lot of the team's starters this year.
At 12-15, the Blue Jays have been playing better lately, but the team is still down a lot of key starters, especially in the rotation. And things are only getting worse.
As the Blue Jays announced on Monday, Max Scherzer, the beloved future Hall of Famer, was placed on the injured list and will be replaced by righty Chase Lee.
