The Toronto Blue Jays signed future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer to a one-year, $15.5 million deal over the offseason, but he's only pitched one game due to his thumb injury. The 40-year-old allowed two runs across three innings in a 9-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on March 29.

Max Scherzer took what the Toronto Blue Jays hope is a significant step in his return from a right thumb injury when he threw to hitters for the first time since going on the injured list in March.

Gimenez suffered a quad strain this week, but the Blue Jays are playing it safe with him, and he likely won't be back until at least May 18 as they put the infielder on the 10-day IL, as reported by Mitch Bannon. Scherzer, meanwhile, who left his first start of the season with an injury, is set to throw again in the next week or so.
