Scherzer Aims for History Amid Injury | Toronto Blue Jays News

Max Scherzer, chasing history and a return to the mound, threw his second rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo, battling back pain alongside past forearm and ankle issues. In four innings against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he surrendered four earned runs on six hits—including a three-run homer—while striking out five and walking none, with his fastball clocking in at 92-94 mph. The Blue Jays’ manager teased a no-hitter after a teammate’s All-Star nod, adding fuel to Scherzer’s comeback fire. With just one more rehab outing potentially before the All-Star break, Scherzer could rejoin the rotation—and inch closer to becoming just the 11th pitcher in MLB history to reach 3,500 strikeouts, already at 3,503, poised to leapfrog Walter Johnson for 10th all-time.
