WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif.

Blue Jays' Scherzer to start Wednesday, but can Hoffman close effectively?

Jeff Hoffman wasn't good on an afternoon in which a series against an inferior foe ultimately was lost. Article content Article content Following the Jays' 4-2 setback to the Chicago White Sox, manager John Schneider provided the team's starting rotation for a three-game series in Cleveland that begins Tuesday night. Eric Lauer gets the ball in the opener, Kevin Gausman in the series finale. Article content In Wednesday's game, Max Scherzer will usher in his return from a troublesome hand injury, which may or may not hold up. Article content 'That's a huge, huge addition for us,' said Schneider. Article content 'It's Max Scherzer. I'll take that any day of the week.' Article content As for Hoffman, he hasn't been the same closer the team or fans of the Jays first saw early in the season. Article content He has been prone to serving up home runs, and has looked spotty when games have been close. Article content 'It's the roller-coaster ride of a reliever,' said the skipper. Article content According to Schneider, Hoffman is trying to return to his early season form. Article content What's obvious is Hoffman's frustration. Article content 'It happens,' added Schneider. 'We trust the (crap) out of Jeff Hoffman. It's easy to blame him, but he's been on the other side of us winning games. Article content 'It's a tough stretch for him, but he'll come out ahead of it.' Article content What did in Hoffman on Sunday was his inability to put away hitters in two-strike counts. Article content 'He's got three put-away pitches. When they're really good, they're great. When you try to force it a little bit, those pitches tend to be in the zone.' Article content Hoffman did induce a weak come-backer off the bat of Andrew Benintendi. Hoffman couldn't secure the ground ball, however, and it dearly cost the Jays. Article content 'Nine times out of 10, (Hoffman) makes that play,' added Schneider. Article content Prior to Hoffman entering the game, Brendon Little issued a walk. Little eventually was charged with two unearned runs. Article content 'Walks usually come back to hurt you and it did (Sunday),' continued Schneider.
