Max Scherzer Tentatively Set for Rehab Start on Friday
Max Scherzer (thumb) is feeling good and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday or Wednesday, tentatively followed by a 60-65-pitch minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, according to Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith. Scherzer will likely need two or more rehab starts on the farm before potentially rejoining the Blue Jays' starting rotation. The future Hall of Famer threw a 50-pitch, three-inning simulated game on Sunday while using all of his pitches, according to manager John Schneider. Inflammation in his troublesome right thumb has limited the 40-year-old veteran to just one start all year in his first season with Toronto. Scherzer should immediately rejoin the rotation when he's ready, but fantasy managers definitely should temper expectations for the aging former ace.
