This is great news for the Blue Jays as they need Scherzerv back since they do not really have any depth for starting pitchers and if they need a replacement to start the season they will be in serious trouble.
Hopefully everything goes well on the mound today and this weekend but as manager John Schneider stated that it will all come down to how he feels the following day.
