"On the eve of spring training, the Toronto Blue Jays dropped a major bombshell, revealing that both Anthony Santander (left shoulder surgery) and Shane Bieber (right forearm fatigue) will begin this season on the injured list, with the former set to miss months rather than weeks. They also shared that another blow had been dealt to the club's rotation depth, as Bowden Francis will miss the entire season once he undergoes Tommy John surgery."
"Schneider admitted that removing Berríos from the rotation late last season and his subsequent absence from the team in October/November could have been "handled a bit differently" in retrospect, adding that both sides have addressed the situation and are ready to move on. Berríos has held conversations with multiple people within the organization, attempting to clear the air and mend relationships early on in camp. Now, everyone's main focus is on preparing for the upcoming campaign."
Anthony Santander will begin the season on the injured list after left shoulder surgery and is expected to miss months rather than weeks. Shane Bieber will open the season on the injured list with right forearm fatigue. Bowden Francis will miss the entire season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, reducing rotation depth. The organization considers José Berríos' postseason absence addressed and intends to move forward; the removal from the rotation late last season could have been handled differently in retrospect. Berríos has met with multiple people to clear the air and mend relationships, and his rotation role changed after Bieber’s injury, removing prior competition for the fifth starter spot with Cody Ponce and Eric Lauer.
