Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Jose Berrios, 31-year-old veteran right-handed pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, is scheduled to undergo elbow surgery to repair a stress fracture and evaluate possible ligament damage. The injury was first detected during spring training while attempting to join Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic. After four rehab starts at Triple-A Buffalo with a 10.67 ERA, continued discomfort prompted another specialist visit. Manager John Schneider indicated Berrios could miss at least a couple of months, with potential for remainder of season. Berrios has not pitched in the majors this season and struggled significantly during rehab assignment. This marks a concerning development for a pitcher who had never missed a start due to injury until late last season.
