The eight times there of the MLB seemed to be frustrated in the Toronto shelter, presumably after its knowledge that it would not take the mound to start the fourth entrance.
After the game, Scherzer shared his belief that the correct Latin problem was related to his in -progressive thumb problem. On Wednesday, Jays manager John Schneider told journalists that Scherzer “was still going in the right direction.”

Scherzer has dealt with some discomfort in his thumb from spring training. On Saturday, he suggested that the persistent problem forced his body to compete in excess.

He hinted that overcoming the third entry into the game against Baltimore’s Orioles could have led to more problems.
“After that third entry, I could say we were in imminent danger,” said Scherzer. “If you go through this and keep throwing how the fatigue of the arm, this will go.”
Scherzer also admitted that he did not feel completely comfortable when he threw himself at the bullpen before Saturday’s game.
“Today warming up, I could feel that my Latin was tight … let (Schneider) know before the game, ‘hey, work with me here. I only know that something could be happening,” he said.

Scherzer has sustained with numerous injuries throughout his career.
He launched for the Texas Rangers last season, but the year began in the list of injured when he recovered from back surgery. His debut in 2024 was further delayed for a nervous problem. Scherzer did nine openings last season.
Scherzer gave three hits and a couple of races won before leaving Saturday. The Blue Jays lost 9-5. The final game of the four -game series is scheduled for Sunday afternoon at the Rogers Center.
