"Max Scherzer's assignment to the injured list comes after a rough start on Friday, allowing seven earned runs on six hits over 2 1/3 innings in an 8-6 loss to the Cleveland Guardians."
"Scherzer, who started Game 7 of last year's World Series, agreed to a one-year contract worth $3 million US that allows him to earn $10 million in performance bonuses for innings starting with 65."
"This season, Scherzer has failed to complete three innings in three starts, including an April 6 outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to forearm pain."
"Scherzer ranks 11th on the strikeouts list with 3,499, just 10 behind Hall of Famer Walter Johnson, and has won titles with Washington in 2019 and Texas in 2023."
Max Scherzer has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation, retroactive to Saturday. This decision follows a poor outing where he allowed seven earned runs in 2 1/3 innings against the Cleveland Guardians. Scherzer's record this season stands at 1-3 with a 9.64 ERA over five starts. Chase Lee has been recalled from triple-A Buffalo to take his place. Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, signed a one-year contract worth $3 million with performance bonuses.
