Max Scherzer won’t be back on the mound anytime soon.
The Toronto Blue Jays moved the three-time Cy Young Award winner to the 60-day injured list on Monday amid a right thumb injury. That will keep Scherzer out at least until May 29.
The move was one of several that the Blue Jays made on Monday. Right-hander Erik Swanson also was moved to the 60-day injured list due to a right forearm injury that’s kept him out all season. The team opted to sign pitchers José Ureña and Spencer Turnbull to one-year deals, too. Ureña was designated for assignment last week by the New York Mets, and Turnbull was optioned to the Florida Complex League.
