Max Scherzer Placed On 60-Day Injured List Due To Right Thumb Inflammation

Max Scherzer's absence will impact the Blue Jays' starting rotation. With Scherzer out, José Berríos, Kevin Gausman, and Chris Bassitt may see more responsibility. The team will rely on these pitchers for upcoming games.

In the 2025 season, Scherzer has pitched only one game, recording an ERA of 6.00. His spring training performance was stronger, with a 1.39 ERA over four games. The Blue Jays will miss his potential contributions in the rotation.
