Right-hander Max Scherzer is making progress in his rehabilitation from a long-standing thumb injury. He recently threw fifty pitches in a simulated game, feeling good afterward. This positive development could lead to a side session and eventually a rehab assignment, paving the way for his debut with the Blue Jays this month. Scherzer's return could significantly enhance the Blue Jays' rotation, which has struggled this season. Manager Schneider remains committed to right-hander Bowden Francis despite his poor performance, indicating stability in the lineup for now.
A healthy and effective Scherzer would provide a massive boost to a Toronto rotation that has been among the league's weakest this year.
Schneider has dismissed the possibility of making a change when it comes to Francis, whether that be a demotion to the minors, a move to the bullpen, or even the use of an Opener.
