Jose Berrios to Visit With a Doctor on Tuesday
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios (elbow), who is dealing with right-elbow inflammation, will go to Texas for an in-person assessment with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday, according to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. Berrios will not throw before then. The 31-year-old also dealt with elbow inflammation and a biceps injury late last season. This isn't a good sign for a veteran pitcher with a ton of tread already on his tires. He had made three appearances in the Grapefruit League in spring training, posting a 3.38 ERA with seven strikeouts and four walks in 10 2/3 innings pitched. Berrios, a 10-year MLB vet, went 9-5 last year in his fourth full season with the Jays, posting a 4.17 ERA (4.65 FIP) and 1.30 WHIP with 138 K's and 56 walks in 166 innings over 31 regular-season outings (30 starts). The two-time All-Star was a depth starter in mixed fantasy leagues before more elbow issues cropped up. Until we know more, it's probably best to avoid Berrios in upcoming drafts.
