Toronto Blue Jays Anxiously Awaiting Test Results For Injured Starting Pitcher
Jose Berrios' injury status is still in doubt after taking a visit for testing under Dr. Keith Meister
The Toronto Blue Jays have been hit with the injury bug more than arguably any other team in the American League, particularly on the pitching side of things. The Blue Jays have five starting pitchers either miss time or who are currently out due to various injuries. Only one of those pitchers, Trey Yesavage , has returned from his initial injured list stint.
Toronto is still waiting to see whether its injury luck for the starting pitchers will get better or worse. Right-handed pitcher Jose Berrios has been out the entire season due to a right elbow stress fracture. He ended last season on the injured list due to right elbow inflammation and missed the final two weeks of the regular season and all of the Blue Jays' run to the World Series.
Berrios made three starts in spring training before landing back on the shelf. Berrios looked to be progressing towards a return. He was placed on a rehab assignment April 16 and made two starts with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays and another two with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.
Berrios struggled on his rehab assignment. He posted a 10. 67 ERA and struck out 11 hitters in 14.
