The Toronto Blue Jays placed pitcher Max Scherzer on the 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his right thumb. The move follows Scherzer's debut start for the team, where he left after three innings due to right lat soreness, which he connected to pre-existing thumb pain. Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, emphasized the importance of resolving this thumb issue before returning to the mound. He has a history of injuries and aims to prioritize his health, while the Blue Jays made roster adjustments in his absence.
Scherzer expressed his frustration over the lingering thumb pain, stating, "This thumb is absolutely critical to your arm health. I've got to get this 100% before I pitch again."
Despite a promising contract with the Blue Jays, Scherzer's debut was marred by injuries, resulting in a 15-day injured list placement due to thumb inflammation.
