Max Scherzer Injured, Blue Jays Pivot

0:00It's April 27th, MLB News. Today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Cory with the story. Toronto Blue Jays just placed three times Sy Young winner, Max Sherzer, on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendonitis and left ankle. Inflammation. The moves retroactive to Saturday, and the 41-year-old righty is sitting at one win. Three losses with a rough 9.64 ERA over. Five starts this season. They recalled right hander Chase Lee from Triple A Buffalo to feel the spot. Sherzer has been struggling lately, giving up seven runs and just two and a third innings against Cleveland on Friday, marking the third time this year. He couldn't finish three innings. Earlier outings didn't help either, like leaving early against the dodgers on April 6th with forearm pain, then coughing up eight runs to Minnesota. On April 12th, fans in the team are feeling the hit from a guy who's in eight-time all-star with a stacked resume. Last season, he went five in five with a 5.19 ERA in 17 starts for Toronto.

1:04Even shining in the playoffs by beating Seattle in. The ALCS in starting two World Series games. He signed a $3 million one-year deal this offseason with up to 10 million in bonuses for innings pitched. Sherzer's career keeps him elite with Sy Young's in 2019 with Washington in 2023 with Texas plus 3,499 strikeouts, 11th all-time. Blue Jays now pivot without him, hoping for a quit bounce back.
