Max Scherzer Goes on Injured List With Forearm, Ankle Injuries
The Toronto Blue Jays announced on Monday that they placed right-hander Max Scherzer (forearm, ankle) on the 15-day injured list with right-forearm tendinitis and left-ankle inflammation and recalled right-hander Chase Lee from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Scherzer continues to battle through injuries and poor performance at the end of his illustrious career. The 41-year-old three-time Cy Young winner and eight-time All-Star just doesn't have much left in the tank at this point and cannot stay healthy. He was tagged for seven runs in just 2 1/3 innings in a loss to the Cleveland Guardians in his last start, and he is now sporting a 9.64 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with 10 strikeouts and eight walks in his 18 2/3 frames over five starts for Toronto in his second season with the team. The future Hall of Famer is rostered in just 8% of Yahoo leagues now, and he is not a must-stash anywhere at this point. With Scherzer back on the shelf, left-hander Eric Lauer could be primed for a return to the starting rotation.
