Scherzer's Rehab Continues: Jays Pitcher Nears Return
21 Jul
Summary
- Max Scherzer will make a rehab start for Buffalo on Wednesday.
- He aims for 60-65 pitches in his upcoming rehab start.
- Scherzer has experienced forearm, ankle, and back issues this season.
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed that pitcher Max Scherzer is slated to make a rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo this Wednesday. Schneider indicated that Scherzer's pitch count will ideally be between 60 and 65 during this outing. Following this appearance, Scherzer will likely need at least a couple more starts before he is deemed ready to return to the Blue Jays' active roster.
Scherzer's season has been hampered by injuries. He began with a high ERA before landing on the injured list in late April due to right forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation. After a brief return in early June, back issues soon landed him on the IL again. He has since been on rehab assignments with High-A Vancouver and Triple-A Buffalo.
