Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider makes major announcement regarding starting pitcher Max Scherzer's status.

With the Blue Jays up 1-0, Francis retired Kyle Schwarber and Alec Bohm before walking Nick Castellanos and Max Kepler. Then, the 29-year-old hit J.T. Realmuto with a pitch, walked Bryson Stott to bring in a run, and hit Otto Kemp to bring in another run. Toronto manager John Schneider had seen enough after that.

The Toronto Blue Jays have decided to give injured starter Max Scherzer at least one more rehab start in the minor leagues. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said the 40-year-old came out of the rehab start fine and will start for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.
