The Toronto Blue Jays regained momentum with a dominant 7-1 win against the Chicago White Sox after two losses. Stars Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. contributed significantly, while pitcher Jose Berrios excelled, allowing just one unearned run. Despite only having Max Scherzer pitch once this season due to a thumb injury, the team holds the AL's second Wild Card spot. Scherzer announced his return for a game against the Cleveland Guardians, stating his confidence in his recovery, while Chris Bassitt is slated for the next game against the White Sox.
Scherzer confirmed when he will return before Sunday's White Sox rematch, via MLB TV's Hazel Mae. The three-time Cy Young Award winner said that he'll pitch on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians.
My stuff is fine,” Scherzer said. “I’m trying everything I can to manage this (thumb) and make sure I can recover... There's no knowing, just have to get out there.
Right-handed pitcher Chris Bassitt (7-3, 3.75 ERA) will start for Toronto against Chicago right-hander Adrian Houser (2-2, 2.15 ERA) in Sunday's rubber match at the Rogers Centre.
The Blue Jays own the AL's second Wild Card spot despite future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer (thumb) pitching just one game this season.
