Max Scherzer's debut with his seventh big-league team lasted all of three innings on Saturday .

Scherzer acknowledged after another disheartening loss to the Baltimore Orioles that the issues with his right lat that had him removed from the game were “ 100% related to the thumb’s.

The troublesome thumb, which has thwarted him for more than a year , has been driving the pitcher bonkers for almost a year .

The 40-year-old veteran with fresh injury woes was always going to come with risk.

The longer it lingers, and the betting is he won't see game action for a while.

The notion of paying all that money for potentially damaged goods could well be the latest calamity for the Jays’ front office.
