Max Scherzer made his 500th career pitching appearance Wednesday, reaching a milestone that may mark the end of his career. Per ESPN, Scherzer said after the game that he will likely announce something about his future in the next couple of days.
Yahoo Sports reported that the Hall of Fame-bound pitcher plans to pitch in the Blue Jays' season finale, and hinted it could be his last appearance. His most recent start saw him pitch five innings with seven strikeouts, three walks, and one home run allowed.
Scherzer's potential retirement would come as fellow future Hall of Famers Clayton Kershaw and Justin Verlander wind down their careers. Kershaw retired after last season, while Verlander is ending his career this year, per CBS Sports.
