Blue Jays' José Berríos to visit specialist about elbow inflammation
José Berríos will pause throwing to consult Dr. Keith Meister about elbow inflammation after an MRI flagged concerns, with Opening Day just two weeks away.
- On Friday, Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider revealed that Jose Berrios is headed to Texas next week for an in-person evaluation with Dr. Keith Meister regarding right elbow inflammation.
- Initially a paperwork issue regarding the World Baseball Classic, the situation escalated after an MRI flagged inflammation in Berrios' right elbow, prompting the specialist consultation.
- Berrios told reporters he feels physically fine and called the inflammation "strange"; the 31-year-old veteran, on a $131 million deal, will stop throwing until after the medical visit.
- With Opening Day two weeks away, the Blue Jays face significant rotation depth challenges as Shane Bieber manages a forearm issue and Bowden Francis is out for the season.
- This marks the second elbow flare-up in six months for the pitcher; the Blue Jays are acting quickly to assess the situation, noting this condition differs from previous issues.
