Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios has a stress fracture in his right elbow and won't be ready for the start of the season next week.
Berrios, 31, received the diagnosis after meeting with Dr. Keith Meister, Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed Wednesday.
Schneider called the diagnosis 'relatively good news' and was hopeful that Berrios can resume throwing soon.
'As of now, yes,' Schneider said. 'That was the goal of the in-person visit and that was what he agreed on with Dr. Meister and our team, too. Just a couple of days down to be cautious, then keep throwing.'
Inflammation in Berrios' elbow initially was discovered during a routine MRI for insurance purposes when he was still hoping to play for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic.
Berrios is 1-0 with a 3.38 ERA in three spring training starts, striking out seven and walking four in 10 2/3 innings.
He went 9-5 with a 4.17 ERA in 31 games (30 starts) last season, which included his first-ever stint on the injured list in late September with elbow inflammation. Berrios missed the entire postseason, with Toronto losing the World Series in seven games to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Berrios is 108-82 with a 4.08 ERA in 275 career games (273 starts) for the Minnesota Twins (2016-21) and Blue Jays.
