Max Scherzer Set to Start Wednesday in Cleveland
Max Scherzer (thumb) threw between 30 and 40 pitches in his bullpen on Sunday. Confirmed he'll pitch Wednesday in Cleveland. "My stuff is fine," he told reporters. "I'm trying everything I can to manage this (thumb) and make sure I can recover…"There's no knowing, have to get out there," Hazel Mae, Toronto Blue Jays sportscaster, reports. Interesting choice of words for Scherzer, as it seems he may still have some lingering issues with that thumb, but it appears he is getting to a point where he wants to contribute and throw with the big league club and continue to manage it. Scherzer threw 4 1/3 shutout innings and struck out eight batters in his recent outing with Triple-A Buffalo on June 18, and with the completed bullpen on Sunday, it appears Scherzer is ready to give it a go. He is built up, considering he threw 75 pitches in his last rehab start, but fantasy managers should plan on the Blue Jays likely keeping close tabs on his workload in the short term.
