Max Scherzer may take gradual approach to start season

Scherzer re-signed with Toronto on Wednesday, agreeing to a one-year contract that can reach $13 million with incentives. Last season, he made a single start in March before a lingering thumb issue sidelined him, and he did not return to the rotation until late June. (Ken Rosenthal)

Fantasy Impact:

Scherzer appears healthier this spring. Toronto may prioritize his availability for September and October over the opening weeks of the season, potentially using a gradual buildup to start the year. Shane Bieber will open the campaign on the injured list with a forearm issue. Kevin Gausman, Dylan Cease, Trey Yesavage, Cody Ponce and Jose Berrios give the organization rotation options early in the season.
