Fantasy Impact:

Scherzer’s thumb held up post-Thursday’s bullpen, greenlighting his Saturday start versus the Twins with a 60-65 pitch goal, eyeing a Blue Jays Opening Day role if no setbacks hit by Sunday. The 40-year-old’s on pace. Fantasy managers in all leagues should roster him, banking on his ace-level arm to shine early in Toronto’s 2025 rotation if he clears this weekend hurdle.
