Scherzer and Cease Return

Max Scherzer’s rehab is heating up—70+ pitches, 95 mph fastballs—and could mean big relief for a Blue Jays rotation battered by injuries. With Berríos and Francis sidelined, guys like Gausman and Yesavage have held the line, but the chaos is wearing thin. Scherzer’s return isn’t about Cy Young magic, but about reliable innings—and he’s closing in on 3,500 strikeouts, a historic milestone. Meanwhile, Dylan Cease is also nearing a return, looking strong in his own rehab outing, possibly back for the Phillies series. And in bullpen news, Simeon Woods Richardson is back, ready to pitch in bulk roles as the starters slowly return. The coaching staff is juggling everything, but Scherzer and Cease’s returns could be the game-changers the Jays need. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
