Max Scherzer is headed west.<\/p>\n
The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> starter will make a rehab start for the high-A Vancouver Canadians on Friday, he told<\/a> Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Scherzer will then join the Blue Jays in Seattle on Saturday. His side session on Sunday will determine next steps.<\/p>\n The three-time Cy Young winner has been sidelined with back spasms since June 10.<\/p>\n He recently received a cortisone shot to aid in his recovery, but Sportsnet’s Ben Nicholson-Smith reported Tuesday that he’d likely need “a couple starts” before returning to MLB.<\/p>\n It’s been an on-and-off kind of season for the 41-year-old Scherzer, who has made six starts for Toronto, posting a 10.23 ERA with only four strikeouts across 22 innings.<\/p>\n Vancouver’s game against Eugene on Friday starts at 1:05 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Max Scherzer is headed west.
