Max Scherzer has been placed on the injured list for 15 days due to right thumb inflammation, following his debut start with the Blue Jays. Despite a slight improvement, Scherzer continues to experience discomfort that affects his arm's performance, especially leading to lat soreness. He acknowledged an ongoing struggle with his thumb and has indicated that his other body parts are compensating for the pain. Scherzer previously warned that the thumb issue could escalate, a fact known to the Blue Jays during his signing.
This is 100 percent related to the thumb. My shoulder - everything is compensating because of the thumb. That's just a recipe for disaster.
I could tell my lat was off. My lat was tight during warmups. Kind of been battling the last couple of days.
After that third inning, I could just kind of tell we were in imminent danger.
Last weekend, I said my thumb issue was a little thing that's a big thing. The Blue Jays were aware of it before they signed me.
