Blue Jays RHP Max Scherzer Leaves Start Against Dodgers After Two Innings
Scherzer allowed two runs and needed 36 pitches before Toronto turned to Josh Fleming, as injuries have thinned the Blue Jays' rotation.
- On Monday, 41-year-old Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer exited his start against the Los Angeles Dodgers after two innings, dealing a significant blow to the team's depleted starting rotation.
- Scherzer threw 36 pitches while allowing two runs and two hits, repeatedly telling the Blue Jays dugout, "I'm OK" despite appearing visibly uncomfortable in both innings.
- The team is already managing injuries to Jose Berrios, Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber, Cody Ponce, and Bowden Francis, leaving Toronto's pitching depth thin just two weeks into the season.
- Lefty Josh Fleming, recalled from Triple-A Buffalo, relieved Scherzer in the third and immediately surrendered a two-run home run to Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman, extending Los Angeles' lead to 4-1.
- Scherzer's fastball velocity dropped from 93.4 mph in a March 31 start against Colorado to 92.1 mph during Monday's outing, highlighting physical concerns for the aging right-hander.
