Bichette Left Off Jays' ALCS Roster
Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt return to strengthen Toronto's pitching staff for the extended ALCS, replacing relievers who allowed multiple runs in the Division Series, manager John Schneider said.
- The Toronto Blue Jays added Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt to their ALCS roster on Sunday ahead of Game 1 at Rogers Centre, replacing relievers Tommy Nance and Justin Bruihl.
- Facing a longer series, the Toronto Blue Jays added veteran starters as Scherzer and Bassitt returned after being left off the ALDS roster due to injury but built enough activity for the ALCS.
- Scherzer recently threw five innings and roughly 95 pitches in a simulated game in Toronto, keeping him more stretched out than Bassitt, who went 11-9 with a 3.96 ERA and finished the regular season on the injured list.
- Kevin Gausman will start Sunday night's Game 1 with the same rotation, and Manager John Schneider said Scherzer is prepped for a start while Bassitt will pitch from the bullpen.
- With a World Series berth at stake, Toronto added veteran arms to strengthen their first ALCS push since 2016, while Seattle countered by activating Bryan Woo and adding Miles Mastrobuoni.
