Currently, there are a lot of moving parts in the Toronto rotation. Chris Bassitt, Kevin Gausman, and José Berríos are all in their mid-thirties, and Max Scherzer is 40 and often injured. Meanwhile, Bowden Francis struggled mightily before landing on the injured list.

“He was dominating areas up and down and out,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. “He is who he is for a reason.” Scherzer claimed his first victory since July 25 last year when he pitched for Texas and the Rangers defeated the Chicago White Sox 2-1.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer is coming off John Schneider's injured list and reflected on his start against the Angels.
