The Toronto Blue Jays have been without Max Scherzer for quite some time now but it looks like he is finally approaching a return.
Scherzer has been dealing with a thumb injury since his first start of the season which fans are quite worried about but slightly optimistic that he will soon be back on the mound.
Scherzer's injury history of late does not do anything to nullify that sentiment, and in his first start with Toronto, coming on March 30, another injury in the form of right thumb inflammation sent the veteran to the injured list. -Brock

The Blue Jays relationship with Scherzer has been a rollercoaster of emotions as he was great in Spring Training followed by an unfortunate injury that has kept him of the mound since the start of the season.
According to reporters, Scherzer is getting closer to returning to the mound but he is expected to face live batters before going on a rehab assignment in the minors which will be the final step before returning to the Blue Jays.
Matheson went on to say that the next step for Scherzer is to face live batters before going on a rehab assignment, but "he is getting closer." -Brock
The Blue Jays rotation has been struggling lately despite a solid start to the season which is why getting Scherzer back can be a massive push in the right direction for them.
Now, over a month later, the veteran is getting closer to his return to the club and could be the key piece to getting the rotation back on track and helping the team find its way back to the playoffs. -Brock
.The issue with Scherzer is that since they have not found a real solution and this is a lingering problem, this could come up once again down the line unfortunately.
