M.Scherzer u5.5 strikeouts +145
Simply hurt. Not a huge strikeout guy anyways. Guy is a mound visit away to the IL
And then he was gone again, calling out his catcher to give him a break, telling Toronto Blue Jays Manager John Schneider that, after five innings, he could not start a sixth. He used to plan for 110 pitches. On Monday night, his achy thumb could withstand only 71.
“I could really tell the fatigue was starting to set in there,” Scherzer told Sportsnet after the game. “The thumb was an issue, and it was starting to leak into the forearm.”
This is how the 40-year-old must live these days, throwing what he can until his right thumb cannot stand it, trying to make sure he does not hurt another part of his arm much worse. He uses the word “if” when he talks about pitching in 2026. He doesn’t know exactly what he can give the Blue Jays in 2025.
“It’s totally day-to-day. You never can be sure anymore."
