The Toronto Blue Jays have had to change a few things in their starting rotation with Max Scherzer out as they have Easton Lucas on the mound this afternoon.
The Blue Jays announced two days ago that Max Scherzer was headed to 15 day IL which is when they decided to call up Easton Lucas in case they decided to replace Scherzer with him.
The Blue Jays have made some changes to their starting rotation on adapt to Max Scherzer being out
The Blue Jays have stated that they are unsure when Scherzer will be back in the lineup as they gave him some cortisone shots over the last few days to help with inflammation as they hope he will be back on the mound soon.
To adapt to this unfortunate situation, they called up Lucas who is getting his first start of the season this afternoon against the Washington Nationals as the Blue Jays look to get their first sweep of the season.
Easton Lucas will start Wednesday's series finale vs Nationals.

Should be interesting to see if the Blue Jays end up sticking with Lucas until Scherzer is healthy or if they will turn towards Yariel Rodriguez.
