Toronto’s Max Shezer was given thumbs on Saturday afternoon to start against Baltimore Oraols. Now Blue Jais hopes that her thumb will be kept up.

The thumb of the scherzer was an issue during spring training, but it passed a test against Minnesota Twins last Saturday at Fort Myers, FLA.

The three-time Sai Young Award winner was considered to be sufficient to start on Saturday in the third competition of four-game set against the American League East-Pratik Oriols.

The teams have divided the first two matches, in which Baltimore won 12–2 on Thursday and Toronto filed a decision of 8–2 on Friday.

A year in February, a contract of $ 15.5 million was signed, a right -handed person, Shezzer, in 2024, was due to various diseases due to the introduction of nine with Texas Rangers. He was 2–4 with 3.95 ERA.

But he was fast in Toronto’s 2–1 spring training win over Minnesota. He killed four out of four scorer innings.

However, the thumb remains a matter of concern.

“It’s a small thing that is a big thing,” 40, 40, “I am not going to lie, it’s disappointing. Because I know that I can pitch at this level. I know that I can still pitch at a very high level. I know I know that I have pitches that I can perform and I can make it completely.

Scherzer made 62 pitches against Minnesota and is expected to be ready to reach 75–80 on Saturday. And then he will wait till Sunday to see the impact on his thumb.

“When I am out of there, it gets hot and it goes away and I am fine,” the scherzer said. “It is like a tendenitis in a way. Once it gets hot. … Then I do not feel it and I can always pitch the way I have pitched. I am not worried about my luggage; I am worried about how I can heal – because it can fly fast and give birth to many other things.”

The Scherzer had problems with Oriols in the previous season, two initially going against him 0–2 with 7.36 Era. He is 7-4 with 3.46 ERA in 16 careers against Baltimore.

Dean Craer, who went 8–10 with 4.10 ERA in the previous season, will start for Baltimore on Saturday. The right-handed batsman was 0–1 with 10.38 ERA in a Start vs. The Blue Jais and 3-4 with 4.82 ERA in 11 Career Outing (10 Starts) in 2024.

Neither the team has used close to it because the first two games were blowouts.

Jeff Hoffman of Toronto signed as a free agent in Offsen, heated on Friday, but was not needed.

The return of Felix Botista close to Baltimore from elbow surgery means that the manager Brandon Hyde will use it carefully, especially in the first half of the season.

The manager said that Botista would be limited to an innings and will not be used on back-to-back days. And if he gets hot, Hyde would like to use it and he should not sit on changing the situation of the game.

“When I pick her up, I would like to be able to bring her into the game,” said Hyde. “Many times, closure or high-leveraged people, it’s not so. … I am just trying to handle the Felix and at the same time I can probably do it.”

“This plan is that we discussed, to find a way to stay ready and stay healthy throughout the season,” Botista said. “Is it going to go through the playoffs, hopefully.”
