The Toronto Blue Jays have placed veteran pitcher Max Scherzer on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to his last start, due to right forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation.

The team has recalled Chase Lee to provide rotation depth while Scherzer remains sidelined for at least the next 15 days.
