“There’s nothing major going on,” Scherzer said . “I’ve been dealing with this issue for a couple of weeks, but it never presenting when I’ve been throwing the ball. It’s hurt more when I’m at home than when I’m actually throwing a baseball.”
Scherzer doesn’t believe he’ll need a stint on the injured list.
“I just don’t think this is an IL issue where I need to miss two starts,” he said. “I think I just needed to guard it (Monday).”
Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters after the 14-2 loss to the Dodgers that they planned to be cautious with Scherzer going into Monday’s start.
“I’m fairly to fairly confident he’ll make his next start,” Schneider said .

The Blue Jays can ill-afford another injury to their pitching staff with Trey Yesavage , Shane Bieber , Yimi García , José Berríos and Cody Ponce all on the injured list.
Should Scherzer remain on schedule, he’ll pitch Sunday against the Minnesota Twins .
