Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> right-hander and three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer<\/a> left Monday’s 14-2 home loss<\/a> to the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> after two innings, another potential blow to Toronto’s injury-plagued starting rotation.<\/p>\n

Scherzer has been dealing with right forearm tendinitis, and manager John Schneider expressed confidence to reporters that Scherzer will make his next start.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old Scherzer, who re-signed with Toronto in February, allowed two runs and two hits.<\/p>\n

Teoscar Hernandez<\/a> homered in the first, driving in Kyle Tucker<\/a>‘s walk.<\/p>\n
