Overview

  • - A World Baseball Classic insurance physical flagged right-elbow inflammation, preventing his addition to Team Puerto Rico’s roster.
  • - A follow-up MRI by the Blue Jays showed what manager John Schneider described as “a different inflammation” from late last season.
  • - Toronto scratched Berríos from a spring start and moved into an information-gathering phase with no throwing until Tuesday’s appointment with Dr. Keith Meister in Texas.
  • - Team doctors indicated no structural or ligament damage, and both Berríos and Schneider say he has no pain.
  • - His Opening Day status is uncertain, with rotation depth—Dylan Cease, Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage, Max Scherzer, Cody Ponce and Eric Lauer—available as Shane Bieber continues building up.
