Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer said Wednesday that he's confused about why the tendinitis in his forearm isn't getting better and that he's going to seek further opinions from more doctors.
Scherzer, 41, was placed on the injured list April 27. He is 1-3 with a 9.64 ERA in five starts, with the three-time Cy Young Award winner having failed to get through the third inning in three of those.
"I can still tell there's something off in my arm," Scherzer told reporters Wednesday after a throwing session at the Rays' Tropicana Field. "So, it's as confusing as anything I've ever had because, usually, you go get an MRI, you would see something. I would think that would show up, and yet there's nothing in there on an MRI. There's no strains; there is no inflammation per se. So, I'm going to have to talk to more doctors to figure out a course of action here.
