"Before camp even began, Shane Bieber was ruled out for an extended period of time with elbow inflammation. Bowden Francis joined him on the injured list, except his elbow troubles proved to be far more serious, requiring Tommy John surgery."
"José Berrios (elbow stress fracture) and Trey Yesavage (shoulder impingement) were soon to follow, though thankfully neither injury was deemed all too serious. And, thankfully, some good news has finally started pouring in, with both Berrios and Bieber scheduled to throw off mounds."
"You never want to see your team dig too deep into the pitching reserves at any point in the season, but losing 60% of the starting rotation prior to Opening Day is a devastating blow."
"Bieber's recovery will almost certainly take the longest, seeing as he never even began to ramp up for the regular season. If he responds well to throwing off a mound, he'll likely head to the team's player development complex for a faux spring training."
The Toronto Blue Jays faced significant injuries in their starting rotation during spring training, with Shane Bieber and Bowden Francis among the most affected. Bieber is out with elbow inflammation, while Francis requires Tommy John surgery. José Berrios and Trey Yesavage also experienced injuries but are expected to return soon. The team has planned for these setbacks, with Max Scherzer, Cody Ponce, and Eric Lauer stepping in. There is optimism that the injured pitchers could return by the end of April.
