Blue Jays set to welcome future Hall of Famer back to rotation

Date:


The wait may have been long, but the Toronto Blue Jays are finally getting ready to welcome their biggest offseason pitching addition to the starting rotation. Max Scherzer is nearing his return from the injured list. 

Toronto signed the future Hall of Famer in the weeks leading up to spring training to a one-year, $15.5 million contract, thinking that he’d provide stability to the top of the Jays’ rotation alongside their veteran trio of arms in Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios and Chris Bassitt. Scherzer made just one start, lasting only three innings, before inflammation in his thumb landed him on the injured list for more than two months. 

Scherzer’s latest rehab outing came on Wednesday with Toronto’s Triple-A affiliate. He struck out eight, walked two and allowed just one hit over 4.1 shutout innings.
