Berrios' Arm Soreness Sparks Injury Fears
9 May
Summary
- Jose Berrios' MRI revealed inflammation and small changes to his prior elbow injury.
- Berrios will consult an orthopedic surgeon specializing in elbow procedures.
- The Blue Jays have faced significant starting rotation challenges due to injuries.
The Toronto Blue Jays are experiencing a season significantly hampered by an unprecedented number of injuries, particularly impacting their starting rotation. Despite Trey Yesavage's return, the team has been without key starters for extended periods.
Jose Berrios recently experienced arm soreness, leading to an MRI on May 5. The results, announced by manager John Schneider, indicated inflammation and "small changes to that initial injury," which was previously diagnosed as a stress fracture in his throwing elbow. Berrios is scheduled to meet with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday for further evaluation.
This situation exacerbates the Blue Jays' pitching woes, as other starters like Kevin Gausman and Dylan Cease have also faced absences. The possibility of Berrios returning for his next scheduled start appears increasingly unlikely, prompting concern about the team's pitching depth and the potential need to acquire additional pitchers.
