Scherzer (back/thumb) will start for the Blue Jays in their matchup against the Nationals on Monday in his return from the 15-day injured list, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
After a great rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Scherzer will be activated from the IL Monday, and make his first appearance since June 10. The 41-year-old has had an injury-riddled 2026, causing him to only make six starts this campaign. In those six starts, Scherzer has struggled to put up good numbers, posting a 10.23 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 14:11 K:BB through 22 innings.
