Max Scherzer came off the injured list and promptly reached another milestone. Unfortunately for Scherzer, it didn't stop his season-long struggles. The Toronto pitcher reached 3,500 strikeouts when he caught Philadelphia slugger Kyle Schwarber looking at an 86 mph change up to begin the game Wednesday night. Scherzer raised his arm as fans rose for a brief standing ovation before Trea Turner's at bat. A three-time Cy Young Award winner and eight-time All-Star, Scherzer is the 11th pitcher in big league history with 3,500 strikeouts. Walter Johnson (3,509) is 10th on baseballs career list. Scherzers former teammate Justin Verlander (3,554) is the only other active pitcher to reach the mark. Scherzer added to his tally by striking out Turner, but Bryce Harper followed with a home run that bounced off the top of the wall in left wall and went out. Alec Bohm made it 4-0 with a three-run homer in the third. Scherzer has made six starts and allowed nine home runs in 22 innings. Scherzer struck out four in 3 1/3 innings, pushing his career total to 3,503. He exited after an infield single by Justin Crawford. Schwarber greeted Mason Fluharty with a homer to make it 6-0. Scherzer walked three and allowed five runs and five hits. His ERA rose from 9.64 to 10.23. Toronto activated Scherzer off the 15-day injured list (right forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation) before the game. He hadn't pitched since allowing seven runs in 2 1/3 innings against Cleveland on April 24. Right-hander Connor Seabold was designated for assignment. Scherzer returned to the reigning American League champions in February, signing a $3 million, one-year contract. Reporting by the Associated Press.

The same day Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt released a statement, voicing his departments support for beleaguered quarterback Brendan Sorsby, Red Raiders head coach Joey McGuire defended Sorsby at a luncheon at the Houston Touchdown Club.Making his first public appearance since Sorsby was granted a temporary injunction by a Lubbock County (Texas) judge that allows him to take the field during the 2026 season despite previously being ruled ineligible by the NCAA for gambling, McGuire answered questions from a throng at the Omni Galleria on Wednesday. The Houston Chronicles Joseph Duarte reported that, although a news conference is typically held before each college coach speaks at the Houston Touchdown Club, McGuire canceled his. He began his remarks explaining that hed take inquiries from Texas Tech fans, per Duarte. An attendee in the crowd asked if theres anything that, from this point forward, can prevent Sorsby from playing for the Red Raiders this season.Brendan Sorsby is recovering from an addiction, McGuire said, via SportsTalk 790s Chris Gordy. He's recovering. I've sat down with this young man multiple times. The things that he is going through and what he's been through is serious.Sorsby wagered approximately $90,000 on professional and college sports over four years, even placing at least 40 Indiana football-related bets when he was a member of the Hoosiers in 2022. His gambling continued at Cincinnati and, most recently, Texas Tech, where hes transferred throughout his college career, as reported by ESPN. This spring, he reportedly spent 35 days in an in-patient Arizona rehabilitation program for diagnosed gambling and anxiety disorders. Hes poised to sit out the first two games of the season as a condition of the injunction he received to compete during the 2026 campaign. Those games are against FCS Abilene Christian and Oregon State.Once Sorsby, 22, was granted the injunction, the NCAA formally filed an appeal in Lubbock County, except the ensuing formal judicial case could wind up occurring after the season, in which case its legal ruling would esssentially be obsolete.McGuire explained Wednesday, though, that Sorsbys return-to-play timeline isnt set in stone.I have a number of people in my family that were addicted to different stuff, and so I've seen what addiction does to people, McGuire said, via Gordy.And so us even saying to the point before we get to the legal part that he can be ready Week 3 against Houston is still a stretch because guess what? He's still recovering. You don't necessarily know between now and then exactly. Do I see a different person? I know it sounds crazy, but I do. Do I see a kid that feels like he's got a thousand pounds of weight lifted off of him? He's made the statement that he feels like this is a moment that can actually change his life.McGuire is entering his fifth season at the helm of the program. Last time around, with one of the most hefty NIL war chests in the country, he led a talent-laden roster to 12 wins and Texas Techs first-ever College Football Playoff appearance.Hes now preparing for a season full of uncertainty, particularly in the quarterback room, where another player is also recovering. Will Hammond is working his way back from the ACL tear in his right knee that cut his season short last year.Hammond suffered the injury while filling in for Behren Morton. Texas Tech is hoping Hammond will be back in time for Week 1 this season so he can lead the offense in Sorsbys absence.Sorbsy totaled 36 touchdowns last season at Cincinnati. The dual-threat signal-caller has drawn considerable NFL interest and, before his gambling addiction surfaced, was widely regarded as a Heisman hopeful.At the moment, hes focused on improving his mental health. McGuire said Wednesday that Sorsby is surrounded by mentors and mentioned the amount of technology on Sorsbys devices to monitor his behavior. He has a person thats over every single penny that he has, McGuire said. The steps in place for him even to get to the points where we can get him playing, theres a lot of stuff to go through.That said, the clip from McGuires comments that made the rounds online Wednesday was one SEC Network pundit Paul Finebaum posted to X.Heres the full quote, according to Duarte: For some reason, as a society, weve been OK with other things that happen and allowing players to play, and this has been the one thing that has united people, that that they were against, McGuire said. Its crazy because its not murder, its not beating somebody so theres a lot of things that were working through. None of this is OK.Those words have raised the ire of several fans. Sorsbys injunction sent shockwaves through the sports world earlier this week, with many objecting to the district court decision and expressing their frustration with the lack of regulation in college athletics, and, by extension, the powerlessness of the NCAA.Despite Texas Techs efforts on Wednesday, that paroxysm of rage hasnt stopped. McGuire emphasized Wednesday that he entered coaching for kids and to help people in general.Hes not wavering in his support for Sorsby.Hes the first person to tell you that its his fault, McGuire said, via Gordy. He chose to do this. But if you know anything about addiction, theres a point that you choose it and then, all of a sudden, you dont choose it anymore. [Its] not something that you can do by yourself to get past where youre at. So I would never turn my back on him. Were still working through a lot of stuff.
