3-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer works his way back to rotation with Triple-A rehab start

On June 13, 2025, Max Scherzer pitched 4 1/3 innings and threw 56 pitches during a rehab outing for Triple-A Buffalo at Sahlen Field, allowing two runs and recording four strikeouts.
Scherzer began rehab after suffering inflammation in his right thumb, which required two cortisone injections and a transfer to the 60-day injured list starting last month.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider emphasized he prioritized Scherzer’s health over stats and wanted to see 60 to 65 pitches, good fastball velocity, and that Scherzer came out healthy from the outing.
Scherzer’s fastball velocity initially reached 94 mph but settled between 91 and 92.5 mph later, and he received a standing ovation from the crowd as he left the field.
Scherzer stated he will need at least one more rehab start before returning to the Blue Jays rotation, indicating the team’s ongoing cautious approach to his recovery.
