The Toronto Blue Jays made a series of roster moves ahead of their series against the Washington Nationals .
Toronto announced that the team activated Max Scherzer from the injured list, and he will start Monday's series opener. In the corresponding move, the Blue Jays placed Braydon Fisher on the restricted list (Bereavement).
Fisher was away from the Blue Jays earlier this month after his dad suddenly passed away from a stroke at the age of 65. He was placed on the bereavement list to mourn the loss of his dad, and now he's back on the list, but the reason isn't known.
Fisher has become an impact pitcher for the Blue Jays as he's 3-3 with a 4.15 ERA in 50 games , including 7 starts, and is 1-for-1 in saves. In his rookie year last season, Fisher was a major surprise as he became a high-leverage reliever. He went 7-0 with a 2.70 ERA in 52 games.
The Blue Jays enter play on Monday with a record of 48-58 and are dead last in the AL East.
More to come.
