US EditionBlue Jays RHP Max Scherzer throws to hitters for the 1st time since going on injured list
- Max Scherzer, Toronto Blue Jays' right-hander, threw to hitters on May 7 for the first time since joining the injured list in March due to a right thumb injury.
- Scherzer’s injury is related to recurring problems with his right thumb, which has caused complications throughout the 2022 and 2023 campaigns and led to him receiving two cortisone shots this year.
- He left his March 29 Blue Jays debut early because of soreness linked to the thumb issue, and manager John Schneider described Scherzer’s stuff as "really good" during recent assessments.
- Scherzer threw 20 pitches, said "I’ve gotten all the inflammation out," and noted he can now grip the ball again but will not celebrate until he starts in a major league game.
- The Blue Jays transferred Scherzer to the 60-day injured list and cannot activate him until May 29, but they view this throwing session as a promising step toward his return.
