Scherzer resumed playing catch after an MRI on his right thumb didn't show anything alarming, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Scherzer will no longer start Thursday against the Orioles due to right thumb soreness, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Can be overpowering and downright nasty at times. Also has the stuff to intimidate batters consistently with strikeouts. Has a great pitchers' frame. Has learned how to become a big winner in MLB. Gets into trouble when he loses focus and the command of his fastball, which can lead to too many walks. Must avoid the big inning against him. Has the tendency to surrender a few too many homers.
Long Range Potential: Elite right-hander in decline.
