TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have placed veteran right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation, the Major League Baseball team announced Monday.
The move is retroactive to Saturday.
Scherzer’s assignment to the IL comes after a rough start on Friday, when he allowed seven earned runs on six hits over 2 1/3 innings in an 8-6 loss to the Cleveland Guardians.
The 41-year-old three-time Cy Young Award winner is 1-3 with a 9.64 earned-run average over five starts this season.
