September 26: Manager John Schneider provided journalists with Mitch Bannon of track and field, and provided the latest news on Berríos. The correct damage has no structural damage, but a second opinion can be obtained with Dr. Keith Meister.
September 25: Blue Jays will place right-handed José Berríos On the list of injuries caused by the right elbow inflammation. Manager John Schneider conveyed the news to reporters including Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi. According to Schneider, this is something he “handled for a while” and is getting an MRI. Right-leaning Paxton Schultz He will join the club soon and will be recalled with corresponding actions.
Berríos, 31, has been in a pretty steady state in the Toronto rotation this year. He gave the club 166 innings with an average run of 4.17. However, he has been worse lately. His ERA was 3.75 in the first half, but his second ERA was 5.15 in the ERA. Recently, he hit the Toronto bullpen.
As Schneider suggests, this elbow problem may affect his outcome. He averaged 93-95 miles per hour in fastballs earlier this season, but recently played more in the band at 91-93 mph. Durability has always been a hallmark of a career in power. This is actually his first ever tour of the US Pro Mounted Police in Illinois.
Given his recent decline in grades and turning to bullpen, he is not very important to Toronto’s pitchers. After the playoffs, all teams will rely more on their top arms, making the length less important. Jays already had a place but was still trying to lock in the division and earned a first-round goodbye or home court advantage in the wildcard round.
Still, this is the latest in a series of cuts in recent Toronto’s depth. Chris Bassitt He also recently went to Illinois due to a back injury. This makes Jays’ spin mixture include Kevin Gausman,,,,, Shane Bieber,,,,, Max Shezer and Trey YesAvage. Gausman and Bieber gave Jays a powerful punch or two in the playoffs, but Scherzer allowed 25 runs to get the last 25 innings. Yesavage has just been promoted and has only two major leagues under his leadership. Eric Lauer Good performance in the rotation earlier this year, but after Bieber quickly rose to the bullpen. Raul has played less than two innings in all of the past three weeks.
This is not ideal for the club in the short term. If this ends up being a long-term injury, it’s also worth noting for the Blue Jays. They are about to lose Bassitt and Scherzer to free agents. Bieber has a $16mm player option, but if his vintage is healthy, he will definitely opt for the 4mm acquisition.
Although Berríos has been in action in the second half, Jays certainly plans to install him back in rotation with Gausman, Yesavage, and perhaps Lauer. Jayce probably already plans to start pitching this winter, and that desire will only increase if Berios is eventually planned to miss a part of the next season.
Online, this may also affect him personally. Berríos can exit the deal after 2026. He plans to make 24mm in 2027 and 2028, so he will decide to walk away from the $48mm of two years and 48mm. These days, this is not a ton of money. The priest just gave it to Nick Pivetta $55mm last winter. Michael Wacha During the offseason, a 51mm price was obtained from the royal family. Jon Gray A few years ago, I got a 56mm price from the Wanderer.
Berríos has a strong season in 2026 and choosing to exit is a real consideration. Despite poor seasons or long-term absences, it naturally reduces the chances of this being a factor.
Currently, Jays will trek through the final days of the season. Scherzer started last night. Today will be a bullpen game Louis Varland Technically, the starter. Schultz may end up covering multiple relief. Bieber and Yesavage plan to win the championship in the next two competitions. Gausman can start the last game if it matters, or if they get goodbye, although Jays can also place him in the first game of the wildcard if necessary. If Jays is alive, Bassitt and Berríos can re-enter the equation later in October.
