"In Saturday's (February 28) matchup against the New York Yankees, Berrios was completely dominant on the mound, throwing for 4.0 innings, not allowing a hit or a run with two strikeouts. The performance also came against a Yankee lineup that saw a good number of players from their big-league roster, including Aaron Judge."
"José Berríos pitched 4.0 scoreless innings vs. Yankees in Tampa today. Velo was back to normal, too. Averaged 93.1 mph with his four-seamer and 92.3 mph with his two-seamer. Normal caveats apply - it's early, results don't matter - but seemingly a positive step."
"After walking the first batter he faced, Berrios got Judge to ground into a force out on a 93.1 mph inside sinker. Jazz Chisholm then grounded into a double play on five pitches, swinging at a high fastball outside of the zone to end the inning."
José Berrios is working to rebuild his career following an October injury that forced him out of the World Series and cost him his postseason rotation spot with the Toronto Blue Jays. With Shane Bieber unavailable at season's start, Berrios has an opportunity to reclaim a starting role. His Spring Training performance has been encouraging, particularly in a February 28 matchup against the New York Yankees where he pitched four scoreless innings without allowing a hit. He struck out two batters and faced a Yankees lineup featuring major league roster players including Aaron Judge. Berrios' velocity returned to normal levels, averaging 93.1 mph on his four-seamer and 92.3 mph on his two-seamer, indicating positive progress in his recovery.
