Blue Jays get injury news on Jose Berrios
The Toronto Blue Jays will be without starting pitcher Jose Berrios for the foreseeable future.
Berrios has yet to pitch in the MLB this season due to an elbow injury. It was revealed he had a stress fracture in his elbow when he went to the WBC and needed clearance. However, at the time, it was thought Berrios could avoid surgery and just rehab the injury, which he did, but after a setback during his rehab assignment, the right-hander will now go under the knife.
“Jose Berrios to undergo elbow surgery Wednesday. Specifics TBD but will either address the fracture/loose bodies in his elbow or also deal with a ligament issue Berrios is facing. Could be as short as a couple month recovery. Or as much as 12-18 months,” Blue Jays reporter Ben Nicholson-Smith wrote on X.
It’s concerning news for Berrios as he could miss all of the 2026 season and potentially the 2027 season due to the injury. The right-hander had been an important part of the Blue Jays’ rotation, but he struggled down the stretch in 2025 and now likely won’t pitch at all in 2026.
