Blue Jays Place Max Scherzer on the 10-Day Injured List with Back Spasms
- On Wednesday, the Toronto Blue Jays placed Max Scherzer on the 15-day Injured List with back spasms, a move retroactive to June 14 that could allow his return before month's end.
- Scherzer has struggled significantly this season, posting a 10.23 ERA across 22 innings, while previously missing six weeks with right forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation.
- To cover the rotation, the Blue Jays recalled Chad Dallas from the Buffalo Bisons, while Braydon Fisher will serve as the opener against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
- Shane Bieber threw 80 pitches in his fifth rehab start on Wednesday, positioning the three-time Cy Young winner for an imminent return expected before June's end.
- Despite becoming the 11th pitcher in major league history to reach 3,500 career strikeouts last week, the 41-year-old now faces mounting questions about his ability to pitch effectively in 2026.
