Max Scherzer has resumed playing catch after an MRI on his right thumb showed no structural concerns, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. (Keegan Matheson)

Max Scherzer (right thumb) had an MRI and there was nothing serious found.

He’s playing catch and will be back on a mound tomorrow or the next day. Good news for the #BlueJays

Fantasy Impact:

Scherzer was scratched from Thursday’s start due to thumb soreness, but he is expected to throw a bullpen session Friday or Saturday before making another Grapefruit League start. The veteran right-hander has been dominant this spring, posting a 14:0 K:BB over nine innings while allowing just two runs. Assuming no setbacks, he remains on track for the start of the regular season.
