Scherzer will no longer start Thursday against the Orioles due to right thumb soreness, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The soreness came about following Scherzer's last outing Saturday versus the Tigers. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said of Scherzer that the team is "just being extra careful with him" and he expects to know more about the veteran right-hander's status in the coming days. Scherzer has been terrific this spring, posting a 14:0 K:BB over nine Grapefruit League innings.
