Overview

  • Max Scherzer is set to make his second start of the season on Wednesday night against the Cleveland Guardians.
  • Scherzer was sidelined in March after a season debut and completed several outings with Triple-A Buffalo during his rehab.
  • Designating Spencer Turnbull for assignment cleared a spot on Toronto’s active roster for Scherzer’s return.
  • Turnbull finished his brief tenure with a 1-1 record and a 7.11 ERA over three appearances this season.
  • Scherzer’s activation provides a boost to a rotation already strained by injuries to Erik Swanson and Alek Manoah.
