Max Scherzer Dealing With Thumb Issue Since 2023
Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports that Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Max Scherzer (thumb) is still battling pain in his thumb. Reports from Toronto noted that the 40-year-old threw a successful session on Friday and suffered no setbacks. However, Scherzer's thumb ailment reportedly traces all the way back to 2023. "My thumb hurts. It hurts to grip the ball," said Scherzer. "Unfortunately, this is what I've been dealing with since 2023." The former first-round pick had pitched well thus far in the spring before being bothered by his thumb, accruing a 2.00 ERA and 0.33 WHIP across nine innings. While it appears he's on track to rejoin the Jays' rotation sooner than later, fantasy managers may want to exhibit caution when considering him in drafts, as it seems like the thumb issue could continue to linger.
