Blue Jays' Pitcher Max Scherzer to Return from Injury

Max Scherzer was hurt in June with back spasms and had some setbacks.

Toronto's Max Scherzer will start on his 42nd birthday after coming off the injured list, according to manager John Schneider, and will pitch in Washington on Monday.

Manager John Schneider said, 'Max will pitch on Monday,' after the Blue Jays lost to the Boston Red Sox.

Schneider said he talked to Scherzer about his health and recovery from a rehab game, and Scherzer seems ready, but might have a limited number of pitches. He did well in his rehab outing in Buffalo.

Scherzer got hurt in June with back spasms and had some problems, including three shots in his thumb.

He threw 56 pitches in five innings and struck out seven in a rehab game on Wednesday.

Scherzer has only started six games for the Blue Jays this season, and the team has lost seven of its last 10 games.

Last season, Scherzer was not on the roster for the first playoff round, but he was added for the next rounds, and the Blue Jays lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

In his 19-year career, Scherzer has won 222 games, lost 121, and has a 3.27 ERA, and he has two World Series championships, one with the Nationals and one with Texas.
