Gimenez suffered a quad strain this week, but the Blue Jays are playing it safe with him, and he likely won't be back until at least May 18 as they put the infielder on the 10-day IL, as reported by Mitch Bannon. Scherzer, meanwhile, who left his first start of the season with an injury, is set to throw again in the next week or so.

Max Scherzer took what the Toronto Blue Jays hope is a significant step in his return from a right thumb injury when he threw to hitters for the first time since going on the injured list in March.

The Toronto Blue Jays were able to get pitcher Max Scherzer on the mound for the first time since March, a positive development in his rehab.
