Max Scherzer, the 40-year-old right-hander and three-time Cy Young Award winner, is undergoing treatment for thumb inflammation. After receiving a second cortisone shot this week, he aims to resume playing catch next week with the Blue Jays. Scherzer, who has faced various injury issues recently, including soreness in his lat muscle and lower back surgery recovery, signed a one-year contract worth $15.5 million with the team. He had initially been placed on the injured list after experiencing thumb pain during spring training, which impacted his performance.
A three-time Cy Young Award winner, Scherzer is on the road to recovery from a thumb injury, receiving two cortisone shots to alleviate inflammation.
Manager John Schneider confirmed Scherzer's second cortisone injection will hopefully allow him to resume playing catch as he aims to return from injury.
