Max Scherzer Heads to the IL + Springer's 300th HR with John Schneider

Blair & Barker

About

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are joined by Blue Jays manager John Schneider (0:45) to chat about Max Scherzer being placed on the 15-day IL, Braydon Fisher getting the opener spot against the Boston Red Sox, Shane Bieber's most recent rehab outing, how Fenway Park and Wrigley Field affects a hitter's mindset, George Springer hitting his 300th homerun, what impresses him from Miles Straw, Alejandro Kirk's implementation since returning from his injury, if he would consider moving Vladdy down the batting order, and where Addison Barger and Yimi Garcia are at in their respective rehabs. Then, Jeff and Kevin discuss Scherzer's future, Vlad Jr.'s ongoing slump, and New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone's comments about Jose Caballero's pitch clock antics.
