Blue Jays reinstate veteran starter Max Scherzer from 60-day injured list
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have reinstated veteran starter Max Scherzer from the 60-day injured list and designated fellow right-hander Spencer Turnbull for assignment.
Scherzer, 40, made one start for the Blue Jays before being sidelined due to right thumb inflammation. He recently completed a rehab assignment with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.
The roster moves were announced by the Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon, a couple of hours before Scherzer's scheduled start against the Cleveland Guardians.
An eight-time all-star and three-time Cy Young Award winner, Scherzer signed a one-year, US$15.5-million contract with the Blue Jays last February.
Turnbull, meanwhile, was 1-1 with a 7.11 earned-run average over three appearances for the Blue Jays this season.

Injury sidelines Andre De Grasse from Canadian championship, Audrey Leduc wins women's 100 metres
Andre De Grasse is skipping the Canadian championship in Ottawa due to tightness in his hamstring. De Grasse, a seven-time Olympic medallist and the anchor of Canada's 4x100-metre gold-medal team at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, said the injury will keep him from competing this weekend. "Unfortunately, I won't be competing this weekend," De Grasse told CTV News. "I picked up a little bit of tightness a couple of weeks ago with my hamstring so I'm going to play it safe and not do any extra damage I need to do. I'll just be here this weekend signing autographs, doing meet-and-greets, taking pictures and just hanging out with my fans and making sure everyone has a chance to see me." However, the 200m Olympic champion from 2021 said he'll be good to for the World Athletics Championship when the event takes play in Tokyo from Sept. 13-21. "I have about five-six weeks, so I should be good. It's just a little bit of tightness in my hamstring so I don't want to risk it and make it worse," De Grasse said. "I've been getting a lot of treatment from the team doctors here, making sure I'm ready to go when it matters." On the track, sprinter Audrey Leduc of Gatineau, Que., won the senior women's 100-metres championship on Friday night, clocking 11.06 to top the eight-runner final at the Canadian track and field championships. The 26-year-old Leduc, who holds the Canadian records in the 100-metres (10.95) and 200 metres (22.36) — both set in 2024 — finished just ahead of Olympian Sade McCreath (11.09) of Ajax, Ont., and Jacqueline Madogo (11.21) of Ottawa, who became the 200-metres national champion in 2023. Olympian sprinter Duan Asemota of Montreal won the men's 100-metre championship in a 10.12 photo finish, just edging out Aaron Brown (10.13) of Toronto, who was part of Canada's 4x100-metre relay team that won gold in 2024. Eliezer Adjibi (10.21) of Ottawa finished third.

Canadian hopes dashed as Gabriel Diallo falls to Taylor Fritz in third round at NBO Toronto
TORONTO — Canada's singles hopes were dashed at the National Bank Open on Friday night when Montreal's Gabriel Diallo dropped a 6-4, 6-2 decision to Taylor Fritz. Article content The second-seeded American secured early service breaks in each set and closed out the victory in one hour 15 minutes. Article content Article content Diallo, the No. 27 seed, was the last Canadian left in the 96-man singles draw. The other seeded Canadians — Montreal's Felix Auger-Aliassime (No. 21) and Denis Shapovalov (No. 22) of Richmond Hill, Ont. — lost their opening matches earlier in the week. Article content Fritz was more consistent and played a steadier game than the 23-year-old Diallo, who recently won his first ATP Tour event in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. Article content Diallo couldn't find his rhythm on a cool, comfortable evening at Sobeys Stadium. He sprayed shots at inopportune times, his net play seemed off and the unforced errors caught up to him. Article content Fritz, who won a five-set battle when they played at Wimbledon a month ago, seemed content to let Diallo keep making mistakes rather than outpower him. Article content The Centre Court crowd did its best to support Diallo, but he was unable to generate much energy in the venue. Another service break came in the seventh game of the second set and Fritz served it out for the victory. Article content The American will face Jiri Lehecka in the fourth round. The Czech posted a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Arthur Fils of France earlier in the day. Article content Article content Other third-round winners included 20th-seeded Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain, 13th-seeded Italian Flavio Cobolli, seventh-seeded American Frances Tiafoe and sixth-seeded Russian Andrey Rublev. Article content Fourth-ranked Ben Shelton was scheduled to play fellow American Brandon Nakashima in the feature night match. Article content In doubles play, Sander Arends of the Netherlands and Argentina's Guido Andreozzi needed just 52 minutes to post a 6-0, 6-3 win over the wild-card duo of Nicolas Arsenault of Richmond Hill, Ont., and Vancouver's Justin Boulais.
