"The Toronto Blue Jays' injured starter received this disappointing update while meeting with specialist Dr. Keith Meister in Texas on Tuesday, manager John Schneider revealed. He added that while the 31-year-old is currently symptom-free and isn't experiencing any discomfort, he'll remain sidelined for another few days."
"It appears the Blue Jays have avoided the worst-case scenario with Berríos, which is an important development given his significance to this team and his looming opt-out after this season. However, he won't be healthy on Opening Day for the first time in his 11-year MLB career."
"Berríos was scratched from last Thursday's Grapefruit League start in Clearwater, Fla., against the Philadelphia Phillies after WBC insurers flagged his physical, prompting the franchise to conduct its own assessment. After his MRI didn't reveal any structural damage, they exercised extra caution by seeking a second opinion from Meister this week."
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander José Berríos was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right elbow after consulting with specialist Dr. Keith Meister in Texas. Though currently symptom-free and experiencing no discomfort, Berríos will remain sidelined for several days before resuming throwing toward week's end. The Blue Jays avoided a worst-case scenario, as the injury appears manageable without severely impacting his starter development. This marks Berríos's first time missing Opening Day in his 11-year MLB career, following his first-ever IL stint last September. The team's starting rotation will now include Kevin Gausman, Dylan Cease, Trey Yesavage, Cody Ponce, and Max Scherzer.
