TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays have reinstated veteran starter Max Scherzer from the 60-day injured list and designated fellow right-hander Spencer Turnbull for assignment. 

Scherzer, 40, made one start for the Blue Jays before being sidelined due to right thumb inflammation. He recently completed a rehab assignment with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.

The roster moves were announced by the Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon, a couple of hours before Scherzer’s scheduled start against the Cleveland Guardians.

An eight-time all-star and three-time Cy Young Award winner, Scherzer signed a one-year, US$15.5-million contract with the Blue Jays last February. 

Turnbull, meanwhile, was 1-1 with a 7.11 earned-run average over three appearances for the Blue Jays this season.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 25, 2025.
