- Scherzer, 41, allowed two runs and two hits, with a slight decrease in fastball velocity compared to his previous start.
- The Blue Jays have four starting pitchers currently on the injured list, including Cody Ponce, Trey Yesavage, Jose Berrios, and Shane Bieber, all dealing with various injuries.
- Josh Fleming was called up from Triple-A Buffalo to replace Scherzer in the game, while the team recently signed left-hander Patrick Corbin, who is pitching in Single-A as he works back from injury.
