Max Scherzer, the Toronto Blue Jays' starting pitcher, made progress in his recovery during a rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo, where he threw 73 pitches, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out five in 3.2 innings. Scherzer has been sidelined since April 27 due to right forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation. His performance is critical for the Blue Jays, as they need him to return to form after struggling earlier in the season with a 9.64 ERA and a 1-3 record. The team is considering two options for his return: he could pitch at home against the Philadelphia Phillies or face the New York Yankees in a key AL East matchup. The decision will depend on his recovery after this latest outing. The rotation currently features Kevin Gausman, Patrick Corbin, Trey Yesavage, Mason Fluharty, and Braydon Fisher, with Spencer Miles expected to follow Fluharty as a bulk option. Scherzer's return could significantly impact the team's playoff aspirations.
