Max Scherzer Throws On Monday
44 seconds agoToronto Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer (thumb) threw on Monday and is still experiencing "lingering tightness" from a cortisone shot, according to Hazel Mae. "It's purely related to the injection," Scherzer said. When asked whether it was encouraging, Scherzer said, "It's good/bad." The 40-year-old future Hall of Famer will need more time before he throws again as he continues to work his way back from right-thumb inflammation. The three-time Cy Young winner dealt with thumb issues during spring training that cropped up again during his first start of the 2025 season on March 29, forcing him to the injured list. Scherzer received two cortisone shots in his thumb last week and will hopefully feel better the next time he throws. There's still no timeline for his return to Toronto's rotation, though, and Scherzer will likely need to go on at least a short minor-league rehab assignment.
