Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list to start for the Blue Jays at Cleveland on Wednesday, manager John Schneider said.

The Blue Jays own the AL's second Wild Card spot despite future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer (thumb) pitching just one game this season. The 40-year-old exited after three innings against the Baltimore Orioles on March 29, and he's been rehabbing ever since.

Future Hall of Fame pitcher Max Scherzer is set to make his return to the mound for Toronto on Wednesday when the Blue Jays play the middle game of a three-game set at the Cleveland Guardians.
