3 d. ago New Toronto Blue Jays star already battling injury and it could derail season

The season hasn't even started for the Toronto Blue Jays, and they might already have an injury cloud that could hang over them for the entire season.Starting pitcher Max Scherzer — one of the team's biggest offseason acquisitions — has been dealing with an injury to his right pitching hand throughout spring training.At age 40, the three-time Cy Young winner has dealt with the same issue over the past few years."My thumb hurts. It hurts to grip the ball. The critical thing I've learned over the years here is that your thumb is absolutely critical to your arm health. Unfortunately, this is what I've been dealing with since 2023," Scherzer told reporters Monday, as per MLB.com's Keegan Matheson.Scherzer was limited to nine starts in 2024 while playing for the Texas Rangers, after making 27 starts the year prior splitting time between Texas and the New York Mets.He last threw upwards of 175 innings in 2021, where he was named to the All-Star game for the eighth and most rec...

4 d. ago Fan pulled down from seats to sing 'O Canada' at Toronto Blue Jays game

One Toronto Blue Jays fan vacationing in Florida got a bit more than they bargained for on a recent trip to watch the team.While the Blue Jays have their home base in Dunedin, Florida, during the spring months, it's not uncommon for fans to travel across the state to see them take on other opponents.And when Robert Guertin decided to take in a Blue Jays game with his wife Linda at the CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches against the Houston Astros last Friday, he suddenly found himself on the field to sing "O Canada."With the couple travelling with a large group of friends to go check out their favourite baseball team, it turned out that the home side didn't exactly have anyone lined up for the Canadian anthem.Given that Toronto is the lone MLB club based in Canada, most part-time anthem singers could go a whole season of games without ever having to sing two songs back-to-back before the first pitch.So an Astros ticket representative offered Guertin's group the shot to perform the Canadi...

There was some major news in the sports world earlier this week, as Arash Madani announced his unexpected departure from Sportsnet.The veteran broadcaster had worked with Sportsnet for 16 years, the first 14 of which he was best known thanks to his great coverage of the Toronto Blue Jays. An exact reason for the departure wasn't given at the time, though he did indicate that it wasn't his choice. He opened up about that on Thursday in an appearance on The SportsCage Podcast."We know what we sign up for, this is a volatile industry. Changes happen all the time," said a seemingly well-spirited Madani. "My name came up this week, and that was that. You're disappointed, you're upset, all those things are real, it's true. … You feel the stages of grief when something like this happens."Though many would be bitter and hold the company who let them go in ill will, Madani is taking a much different approach. The 2017 George Gross Trophy winner is instead focusing on how lucky he was ...
