Max Scherzer has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation. The Toronto Blue Jays have called up Chase Lee to replace him in the starting rotation.
On Friday, Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer had a chance to make history, but fell short. Scherzer, who is only one strikeout away from hitting 3,500 career strikeouts, instead put up one of the worst starts of the season in a 8-6 loss to the Cleveland Guardians.
Now, Scherzer will have to wait a bit longer to try again. Toronto announced Monday that they have place Scherzer on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation.
To replace him, the Blue Jays have called up Chase Lee.
Scherzerâs most recent start on Friday was a disaster, with the veteran pitcher allowing seven runs and six hits (including three home runs) in 2 1/3 innings before he was pulled. Itâs unclear whether he was pushing through injuries during that start, but he will now take a break to recover.
With Scherzer out, the Blue Jaysâ starting rotation goes back into flux. Toronto has lost a number of starting pitchers already this season, with Cody Ponce suffering a knee injury in his first MLB game in five years and Shane Biebers going on 60-day IL earlier this month.
However, the Blue Jays will be getting some reinforcements: Sportsnetâs Shi Davidi reported this weekend that Trey Yesavage, who started the season on IL, is set to return to the rotation on Tuesday. is also ramping back up after missing the start of the year with injury.
