Max Scherzer Left Off Blue Jays ALDS Roster
Max Scherzer has been left off the team's roster for its American League Division Series matchup against the New York Yankees. The 41-year-old struggled with injuries and inconsistency throughout 2025, posting a 5-5 record with a 5.19 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 82 strikeouts across 85 innings (17 starts). Still, it's a bit of a surprise that Scherzer was left off the roster entirely. His absence could indicate that Blue Jays rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage will get the ball in Game 3, and Toronto may be lining up for a bullpen game in a potential Game 4. Yesavage made three starts in the big leagues this season, allowing five earned runs and walking seven while recording 16 strikeouts across 14 innings pitched.
