Blue Jays get ideal Max Scherzer injury news after arm problem originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The injuries just continue to pile up for the Toronto Blue Jays, and at some point, something is going to have to give. It's very unfortunate that the Blue Jays are going through this to start the year, but there could be some bright sides to it as well.
Ultimately, while all injuries are horrible, it's better to deal with injuries in April than it is in September and October. If the Blue Jays can get healthy during the later stages of the year, they could be fine.
The injury bug continued earlier in the week when Max Scherzer left his start with forearm tendinitis. Scherzer obviously isn't what he once was, but he's still a respected veteran who can get outs at a very high level, showing that in Game 7 of the World Series a year ago.
While the injury is concerning, as most forearm injuries are, it doesn't sound like it'll be too big of an issue.
“Manager John Schneider is “fairly confident” that Scherzer will make his next start, but any forearm issue is worrying. This popped up after Scherzer’s last start, and the plan was for a max of three innings Monday, so he hopes that by cutting this short, he’ll be able to bounce back for his next start this coming weekend,” Keegan Matheson of MLB.com wrote.
Even if Scherzer has to miss a start or two along the way, I don't think this will be too much of a problem. However, the Blue Jays are going to have to start getting creative in their starting rotation, and that could lead to problems in the bullpen and in other areas. They need guys to eat up innings, and right now, there just aren't a whole lot of them doing so.
