Blue Jays' Scherzer Says Ponce Injury Is Season-Ending

Toronto Blue Jays ace Max Scherzer contradicts manager John Schneider regarding Cody Ponce’s ACL injury, declaring it a season-ending setback.

Manager John Schneider indicated Ponce would visit an orthopedic surgeon next week to determine if surgery was necessary. However, Scherzer offered a definitive update, stating, "It's a gut punch," and that the injury effectively ends Ponce's season. This adds to the Blue Jays' mounting injury woes, which already include Shane Bieber, José Berríos, and Trey Yesavage.
