"You know things aren't going your way when you lose your star players during the stretch run. The Toronto Blue Jays lost Bo Bichette due to a knee injury at the beginning of the month. If that wasn't bad enough, the Blue Jays would lose another key piece from their starting rotation when Chris Bassitt went down with lower back inflammation with a week remaining in the 2025 MLB regular season. But when you thought things couldn't get any worse, it just did for Toronto in the midst of their fight to hang onto the American League East division title. On Thursday, the Jays took another hit to their pitching staff when José Berríos landed on the injured list due to an elbow injury."
"In fact, the 31-year-old right-hander had been recently relegated to the bullpen by the Jays with hopes that he could rediscover his effectiveness heading into the postseason. He made his first relief appearance in almost eight years on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox just prior to his ailment. In the game, Berríos went two innings, giving up three runs on two hits with two walks and three strikeouts."
Bo Bichette suffered a knee injury at the beginning of the month. Chris Bassitt went down with lower back inflammation with a week remaining in the regular season. José Berríos was placed on the injured list with right elbow inflammation, the first IL stint of his MLB career. Manager John Schneider said the elbow had been ailing Berríos for some time. Berríos had been moved to the bullpen to try to regain effectiveness and made his first relief appearance in nearly eight years, working two innings and allowing three runs. Paxton Schultz was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to replace him on the roster, and Berríos was headed for an MRI.
