Scouting Report: Cesar Berbesi
Houston Astros | SS
Overall
Summary
Jose Berrios (note: the user mentioned "Cesar Berbesi" but all sources reference Jose Berrios, the Blue Jays pitcher) has been dealing with a significant right elbow injury throughout the 2026 season. He was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his pitching elbow during pre-World Baseball Classic physicals in mid-March. After beginning a minor league rehab assignment, Berrios experienced multiple setbacks including decreased velocity (down approximately 3 mph), increased pain, and poor performance (17 ER in 14.1 IP across rehab starts). An MRI revealed inflammation and small changes to the initial injury. Surgery is scheduled with Dr. Keith Meister, with concerns about possible ligament damage that could result in a season-ending injury. The situation remains uncertain regarding the full extent of damage and recovery timeline.
Strengths
- Veteran pitcher with prior track record of durability
- Under care of renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Keith Meister
