The Toronto Blue Jays have placed Max Scherzer on the injured list with a forearm injury on April 28th. The move removes the veteran pitcher from the active roster.
Scherzer, 41, is a right-handed pitcher who has been tracking toward career milestones with 488 games pitched and 222 wins. The veteran is approaching the 500-game mark, needing just 12 more appearances to reach that threshold.
The Blue Jays currently sit at 13-16 (.448) and fourth place in the AL East, 6.5 games behind the division leader. Toronto's roster composition includes 13 pitchers, making Scherzer's absence notable for their pitching depth.
This marks Scherzer's second roster transaction in recent days, following a roster removal on April 26th. The injury placement continues a challenging stretch for the veteran pitcher's 2026 campaign.
