Toronto places scheduled starter Max Scherzer on the injured list and then defeats the Boston Red Sox 3-0 on Wednesday night. The Blue Jays’ rotation changes as Scherzer’s back spasms sideline the 41-year-old right-hander, and Braydon Fisher takes the mound to cover the first four outs. On offense, Andrés Giménez contributes offensively and on the basepaths, recording two hits, an RBI, and three steals. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. adds production by driving in two runs, helping Toronto reach three runs without needing a larger scoring burst. The game ends with the Blue Jays holding Boston scoreless, with the pitching and lineup responding to the late roster adjustment prompted by Scherzer’s injury. Multiple reports describe the same sequence: Scherzer is moved to the injured list before the game, Fisher starts in his place, and Toronto’s key hitters and speed help secure the shutout victory.
