Max Scherzer heads to IL as Blue Jays' injury woes continue
"Scherzer has struggled for most of the campaign after re-signing with the Blue Jays on a one-year, $3 million contract back on March 2. Through five starts, the 41-year-old Scherzer is 1-3 with a 9.64 ERA and 1.61 WHIP."
"In Scherzer's most recent outing, Friday night against the Cleveland Guardians, Scherzer was tagged with the loss after going 2 1/3 innings and allowing seven earned runs, including three homers."
"Taking his place on the active roster is Chase Lee, who was acquired from the Detroit Tigers on December 12 in exchange for minor-league pitcher Johan Simon."
