Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (leg) exited Friday's start in the middle of an at-bat against the second batter of the game with an apparent leg injury, according to Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post. Scherzer was seen hopping off the mound after throwing a pitch inside to make it a full count against Giants first baseman Brandon Belt, and was also seen wincing while trying to stretch out his leg on the mound. He threw one warmup pitch with the trainer on the mound before exiting the game. There's no word yet on the injury or severity, as managers should keep a close eye out for further updates through tonight.--Michael

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer (thumb) completed another bullpen session on Wednesday. Blue Jays manager John Schneider noted that the session went "fairly well." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 40-year-old's progression. However, seeing that he has completed two bullpen sessions without facing any setbacks is a positive sign. Scherzer hit the 15-day injured list following his season debut. In this outing against the Baltimore Orioles, the right-hander was removed from the contest after just three innings of work. If he is able to continue to increase his workload, he could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the coming weeks. Last summer, Scherzer battled injuries as well but was effective when on the bump, holding a 3.95 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP. He remains a solid stash in deeper formats for the time being.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer (thumb) completed a 27-pitch bullpen session on Friday. Toronto manager John Schneider noted that it was a "step in the right direction" for the veteran right-hander. Scherzer has been sidelined with this injury after making his season debut on March 29. In this outing, Scherzer lasted just three innings before exiting the contest. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but it appears Scherzer will need to complete several more bullpen sessions before being cleared to embark on a rehab assignment. Last season, the 40-year-old was limited to numerous injuries and logged just 43 1/3 innings on the bump. Even though he has battled injuries over the past few seasons, when on the mound, he has been effective. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should continue to stash Scherzer while he slowly increases his workload.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer (thumb) threw 27 pitches off the mound on Friday in what manager John Schneider called a "step in the right direction." There's still no timetable for when Scherzer might be able to return to Toronto's starting rotation, but it's good news overall after he's had multiple setbacks with his right thumb. The 40-year-old three-time Cy Young winner and eight-time All-Star made just one start before landing on the injured list with his thumb injury, and he required multiple injections in order to deal with the discomfort. Hopefully now he'll eventually be able to build up his arm and go on a minor-league rehab assignment in the near future. The future Hall of Famer can still be valuable in fantasy, but injuries have become a major problem in the last several seasons. In his lone start against the Orioles on March 29, he allowed two earned runs in just three innings of work.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer (thumb) rejoined the team in Houston this week and was seen playing catch before their game against the Astros on Monday at Daikin Park. Scherzer received a second cortisone shot in his troublesome right thumb (in the knuckle area) and is hoping it will alleviate the discomfort in his finger. Pitching coach Pete Walker said Scherzer felt his throwing session went "OK." It was the first time that the 40-year-old future Hall of Famer had thrown since receiving a second cortisone shot. We should know more in a couple of days based on how Scherzer is feeling. If he's cleared to progress to throwing bullpens and facing live hitters, he will eventually need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Toronto's starting rotation. Barring a setback, that might not be until mid- to late-May.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
