The #BlueJays entered spring with shored up rotation depth. Now, it's shockingly shallow. The latest hit, a significant elbow surgery for José Berríos: www.nytimes.com/athletic/728...

John Schneider said today that, while he hasn't been involved in every single conversation about José Berríos' elbow, he doesn't believe there is any ligament damage right now. This still sounds like the stress fracture. Schneider also mentioned "loose bodies". #BlueJays

Alejandro Kirk’s thumb is responding well as he ramps up catching per John Schneider. Kirk also throwing and hitting.

Tomorrow’s starter is TBD. Spencer Miles will be a big part of the plan.

Jays still talking through next steps with Jose Berrios. Nothing decided, but “surgery is on the table” per John Schneider

Jake Bloss, in his first rehab game coming off 2025 Tommy John, in the FCL: 2.1IP 4K 0BB 2H 0R Still a ways to go for the #BlueJays prospect, but could put himself into the rotation depth conversation in a few weeks.

Kevin Gausman, in the same park he recorded his first strikeout, records his 2,000th. His first came on May 23, 2013 against Edwin Encarnacion. His 2,000th tonight, against Hunter Feduccia. #BlueJays

Addison Barger went for an MRI on his right elbow per manager John Schneider. Daulton Varsho "jammed his heel a bit" at first base, but he's fine per Schneider.

After throwing at Tropicana Field this morning Max Scherzer said his forearm isn’t responding the way he hoped. Plan now is to talk to more doctors and figure things out from there. His ankle is progressing well, he told me @thehazelmae.bsky.social & @mitchbannon.bsky.social

Speaking with Shane Bieber, one of the many injured #BlueJays visiting the team in Tampa, he said he's close to progressing to live hitters. His progression is "going as planned" and he "feels great" Throwing a side in Tampa tomorrow, and will need live ABs and rehab games after

José Berríos will go for an MRI on his elbow tonight, Schneider said. The #BlueJays righty reported some additional soreness coming off his most recent AAA start

José Berríos is joining the #BlueJays today in Tampa, and they’ll talk with him about next steps. Schneider: “Just want to sit down with him, Pete and the trainers, and kind of see exactly where he's at and what he's comfortable with going forward.“

“Worst case scenario” Addison Barger should be active with the #BlueJays on Friday at home, Schneider said, barring setback. He could, after playing for Dunedin on Tuesday, join the Jays Wednesday

George Springer should be available off the bench today, Schneider says. He's currently taking BP on the field. #BlueJays

Through 3 PAs on his Dunedin #BlueJays rehab stint, Addison Barger has a 400 ft homer, 4-pitch walk and a ground-out to 2B.

Schneider on Andrés Giménez, who gingerly ran 1st to 3rd tonight: “The hockey fan in me, in Canada, you can say, like lower body soreness.” #BlueJays

Schneider said he's proud of how Varland and Hoffman have handled the recent bullpen shuffle: "They've both handled that so well and I'm really proud of them. It sounds weird to say, they're grown men, but I can't speak highly enough of how they've handled it." #BlueJays

José Berríos' rehab start in AAA is done: 4IP 5ER 5H 2K 2BB 2HR (70 pitches) He averaged 91.9 mph with the 4-seamer, 90.6 with the sinker — both down from his other rehab outings. We should find out #BlueJays next steps for him in the next couple days

The #BlueJays have acquired 29-year-old catcher Willie MacIver from the Rangers for cash considerations and DFA'd Tyler Fitzgerald. MacIver has 33 big league games. He represents some new catching depth for Toronto, especially with Kirk out and with CJ Stubbs on the milb IL
