Things only got worse from there\u2014Scherzer lasted just three innings before exiting due to a right lat issue, which he believes stems from an ongoing problem with his right thumb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"746\">By Sunday, the Blue Jays made it official, placing Scherzer on the 15-day Injured List with what they\u2019re calling <em data-start=\"561\" data-end=\"587\">right thumb inflammation<\/em>. The move wasn\u2019t exactly a surprise, as Scherzer himself admitted after Saturday\u2019s game that he needed to be at full strength before taking the mound again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"748\" data-end=\"851\">\u201cI got to get this 100 percent before I pitch again,\u201d he said, signaling that an IL stint was likely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"853\" data-end=\"1103\">It\u2019s a tough blow for Toronto, who signed the 40-year-old to a $15.5 million deal to help stabilize their rotation. Instead, they\u2019re now left waiting and hoping that Scherzer can recover quickly and return in better shape than he was when he arrived.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Max Scherzer\u2019s debut weekend with the Toronto Blue Jays has been nothing short of a nightmare.
