Blue Jays' Scherzer Says Ponce's Season is Over

Scherzer called the injury a 'gut punch' while addressing the media on Wednesday. Ponce suffered the right ACL sprain during his first start on Monday.

Manager John Schneider had previously stated Ponce would visit an orthopedic surgeon next week to determine if surgery was necessary, which would end the season. Scherzer's update provides a clearer timeline for the struggling Blue Jays rotation.
