Max Scherzer Dominates in Rehab Outing; Close to Return

[Matthew Lenz]

Max Scherzer looked great in Wednesday's game at Triple-A Buffalo. Through 4 1/3 innings the Blue Jays starting pitcher struck out eight batters in 75 pitches, including striking out the side in the second inning.

According to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, "If he can still give the Blue Jays a thumbs up in the morning without wincing, he’s expected to make his next start in the big leagues..."

It's a welcome sight for the Blue Jays who have dealt with a variety of injuries on their pitching staff.

Scherzer looked great in his first two starts with the team before his thumb began giving him issues.
