"Dating back to September 2025, Berrios has been battling elbow issues, which forced him to miss the 2025 World Series run. Despite rehabbing in the offseason, the issues carried over to the 2026 season, as a stress fracture in his elbow set him back again."
"The latest update for Berrios isn't any better, and now the Blue Jays may be left wondering what to do with the former team ace. Jose Berrios opts for surgery, which keeps this situation from going worst to worst for the Blue Jays"
"The news comes no less than 24 hours after reports about Berrios seeing a specialist to get to the bottom of his elbow concerns. With the extended absence now confirmed, the Blue Jays will need to figure out how to address their thin pitching depth, especially amid current struggles to win ballgames."
"Fair to wonder if Berr ios has thrown his final pitch as a Blue Jay. He's undoubtedly opting in to the final 2 years of his deal but how he looks coming back from surgery is a fair question. I don't think the Blue Jays would shy away from eating the money and cutting bait."
Jos e Berrios has dealt with elbow problems since September 2025, missing the 2025 World Series run. Rehab in the offseason did not resolve the issue, and a stress fracture in his elbow delayed his 2026 season. On May 16, 2026, he opted for elbow surgery after seeing a specialist the day before. The procedure will address the fracture and loose bodies and may also involve a ligament issue. His recovery could range from a couple of months to 12 918 months. The Blue Jays must respond to the extended absence with limited pitching depth and consider how to handle his remaining contract, including the possibility of cutting him if performance after surgery is not promising.
