Max Scherzer was pleased with his outing but is unsure of what it means for his next steps with his thumb.
"As for recovering, I have no idea," he said. "Just got to see how it goes. Do as much as I can with ice and pills and we'll see how it feels."

The good news is that Scherzer looked great out there and was not in pain but it is definetely worrying that he is hoping that ice and pills will help with the pain.
It is hard to believe that if Scherzer continues to pitch his thumb will not end up being an issue down the road this season.
