Scherzer did feel a similar pain to this after his first outing against the Cleveland Guardians but now that he is dealing with a thumb injury as well, this certainly does not look good.
While Scherzer might able to push through the pain for a few starts this season, there is no way that this is sustainable long term which is why Toronto needs to start exploring other options.
