Blue Jays' Scherzer to start vs. Twins despite forearm tendinitis

Scherzer pulled himself from a start Monday but intends to make his next outing this weekend.

Max Scherzer revealed he is dealing with right forearm tendinitis after being lifted from his start on Monday. The 41-year-old plans to skip the injured list and make his scheduled start against the Minnesota Twins this weekend.

With Toronto already missing several starters, Scherzer aims to manage the inflammation while remaining in the rotation. The team may need to call upon Patrick Corbin if Scherzer struggles or needs more rest.
