Toronto will see how Berrios feels on Saturday before deciding the next steps for him. There should be an update by the end of the weekend.

Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said that Jose Berrios will throw off a mound this week.

Berrios was diagnosed with a right elbow stress fracture last week, forcing him to begin the season on the 15-day injured list. While it’s believed he could pitch through the injury, he still does not have a clear timeline for return.

The Blue Jays placed RHP José Berríos on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow stress fracture.

Berrios was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his elbow earlier in March. All three of him, Shane Bieber and Trey Yesavage are opening the season on the injured list.

With Shane Bieber (forearm) opening the season on the IL and Trey Yesavage being managed on a monitored workload, Berrios figures into Toronto's rotation picture despite being diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right elbow Wednesday. Manager John Schneider said Berrios is pain-free, and the plan is for him to resume throwing soon with the intention of pitching through the injury.

Berrios will not be ready for Opening Day, but could make starts earlier in the season. When Toronto is at full strength, he is expected to shift to a bullpen role.
