"Jose Berrios to have surgery Wednesday performed by Dr. Meister. Repair existing injury (stress fracture on elbow). There is some concern about ligament - they'll determine whether he's done for season whether ligament needs repairing.- Hazel Mae (@thehazelmae) May 16, 2026"
"With there being questions about Berrios' availability this campaign, the Blue Jays should be on the hunt for starting pitcher help between now and the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline. The Blue Jays need to boost their roster, as they have an underwhelming 21-26 record but are also just one game behind the Seattle Mariners for the final wild card spot in the American League."
"When looking at potential pitching options for the Blue Jays, Freddy Peralta, Sonny Gray, and Joe Ryan all stand out as interesting options for the American League East club. If the Blue Jays landed a pitcher from this trio, there is no question that their pitching rotation would get a massive boost."
"Out of the three pitchers listed above, there is no question that Peralta would be the biggest addition for Toronto if acquired. The 29-year-old righty is a legitimate star and would give the Blue Jays another ace-level pitcher if successfully brought in. With the New York Mets being at the bottom of the NL East standings and Peralta being a pending free agent, there is a chance that he could get moved."
Jose Berrios is scheduled for surgery to repair a stress fracture in his elbow. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Meister. There is still uncertainty about his availability for the remainder of the season because concerns exist about whether a ligament is also affected. The Blue Jays have missed Berrios this season and face the possibility of losing him for the campaign. With Toronto holding an underwhelming 21-26 record and remaining one game behind the Seattle Mariners for the final American League wild-card spot, the team may need starting pitching help before the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline. Potential targets include Freddy Peralta, Sonny Gray, and Joe Ryan, with Peralta viewed as the biggest acquisition if available.
