Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Avoids structural damage
An MRI revealed Berrios (elbow) doesn't have any structural damage, and he will be seeking a second opinion, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports Friday.
Berrios was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to right elbow inflammation. While Friday's news is encouraging, manager John Schneider indicated Berrios likely wouldn't return in 2025 unless the Blue Jays were to make a deep run in the playoffs. Toronto bumped Berrios to the bullpen Sept. 19 and he surrendered three runs in two innings during his only appearance afterward.
