In a disappointing 14-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Max Scherzer (41), a three-time Cy Young Award winner, exited the game after two innings due to right forearm tendinitis. Scherzer allowed two runs and two hits, with his fastball velocity dropping from 93.4 mph in a previous start to 92.1 mph. Despite the injury, Blue Jays manager John Schneider expressed confidence that Scherzer will be able to make his next start. The Blue Jays are grappling with injuries to their starting rotation, with four pitchers currently on the injured list, including Cody Ponce, who recently suffered a knee injury in his first big league appearance since 2021. Other injured pitchers include Trey Yesavage, Jose Berrios, and Shane Bieber, all of whom are yet to pitch this season. To address the pitching crisis, the Blue Jays signed left-hander Patrick Corbin, who recently pitched for Single-A Dunedin, allowing just one run in five innings.
