José Berríos

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios (elbow) underwent full Tommy John surgery, manager John Schneider told Hazel Mae of Sportsnet. Additionally, Berrios had a stress fracture in his right elbow fixed, and he will now miss the entire 2026 campaign and probably at least the first half of the 2027 campaign. All the innings that the 31-year-old Puerto Rican hurler has racked up over the years have finally caught up with him. The two-time All-Star began to show signs of decline last year in Toronto, posting a 4.17 ERA (4.65 FIP) and 1.30 WHIP with 138 strikeouts and 56 walks in 166 innings pitched across 31 regular-season outings (30 starts). Not only is durability now a major question mark, but when healthy, Berrios struggled with control, a lack of velocity, and keeping the ball in the yard. He was left off last year's postseason roster during the start of his elbow problems, and now we won't see Berrios in the big leagues for at least another full year. He can safely be dropped in all single-year fantasy formats, if he wasn't already.
