Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> starter Max Scherzer<\/a> exited Monday\u2019s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> after two innings.<\/p>\n

It is currently unclear what the veteran right-hander was dealing with, but Scherzer was seen talking with manager John Schneider and pitching coach Pete Walker following his second inning of work and did not come back out for the top of the third.<\/p>\n

Left-hander Josh Fleming<\/a> came into the ballgame in relief.<\/p>\n

Scherzer\u2019s day ends with two earned runs, two hits, one walk, and two strikeouts. He threw just 36 pitches before exiting.<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays are dealing with a number of injuries to begin the season.<\/p>\n

Toronto recently placed right-hander Cody Ponce and catcher Alejandro Kirk<\/a> on the injured list, joining Trey Yesavage<\/a>, Shane Bieber<\/a>, Jose Berrios<\/a>, Yimi Garcia<\/a>, Bowden Francis<\/a>, and Anthony Santander<\/a> on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

Right-fielder Addison Barger<\/a> also did not start Monday against the Dodgers after being diagnosed with bilateral ankle discomfort in Sunday\u2019s series finale against the Chicago White Sox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Toronto (4-5) began a three-game series against the Dodgers in a rematch of last year\u2019s Fall Classic in which Los Angeles prevailed with an extra-innings victory in Game 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toronto Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer exited Monday\u2019s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers after two innings.
