"Manager John Schneider says Berrios is not experiencing any pain but will take a couple of days off as a precaution. Speaking to reporters today at the team's spring training complex, Schneider says Berrios will likely resume throwing later in the week, but he won't be ready for the start of the season on March 27."
"Berrios recently had an in-person meeting with surgeon and elbow specialist Dr. Keith Meister to look at his throwing arm. Inflammation in the elbow prevented Berrios from joining Puerto Rico at the World Baseball Classic earlier this month."
"Berrios was 9-5 with a 4.17 earned-run average over 31 appearances for the Blue Jays last year. He ended the season on the injured list due to right elbow inflammation and didn't pitch in the playoffs."
Jose Berrios, the Toronto Blue Jays' right-hander, has been ruled out for Opening Day on March 27 due to a stress fracture in his right elbow. Manager John Schneider confirmed that while Berrios is currently pain-free, the team is taking a precautionary approach by giving him a couple of days off before he resumes throwing later in the week. Berrios recently consulted with elbow specialist Dr. Keith Meister to evaluate his throwing arm. This injury follows previous elbow inflammation that prevented him from competing in the World Baseball Classic and caused him to end last season on the injured list. Last year, Berrios posted a 9-5 record with a 4.17 ERA across 31 appearances.
