Max Scherzer Still Searching for Answers for Forearm Tendinitis
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer (forearm) continues to search for answers to his forearm tendinitis, according to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Scherzer's ankle discomfort has gone away, but his right forearm is currently preventing him from ramping up his throwing program. The good news is that MRI exams aren't showing any structural damage to his arm, but the future Hall of Famer remains without a timetable to return. "Got to talk to more doctors and figure it out," Scherzer said. "The foot, I'm not worried about. My concern is more on this forearm, because now we've given it enough time outside of a start, like I should be ramping back up." The 41-year-old three-time Cy Young winner and eight-time All-Star might finally be nearing the end of the road in what has been a dominant career. In addition to his injuries, Scherzer went 1-3 with a rough 9.64 ERA and 1.61 WHIP while striking out only 10 in 18 2/3 frames over his first five starts of 2026 before landing on the 15-day injured list early last week. He's still trying to find a way to return to Toronto's rotation, but when/if that will happen is anyone's guess. Scherzer is rostered in only 5% of Yahoo leagues nowadays.
