Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios took another step in his recovery from a stress fracture in his right elbow on Wednesday night.

The 31-year-old is currently on the 15-day IL with a stress fracture in his right elbow and has not appeared in a major league game since Sept. 24, when he threw two innings out of the bullpen against the Boston Red Sox.
After that outing, he was placed on the injured list with elbow inflammation and did not pitch again in 2025.
Berrios finished last season with a 9-5 record with a 4.17 ERA, 138 strikeouts and 56 walks.
Overall, Berrios has a 108-82 career record with a 4.08 ERA over 275 career games with the Blue Jays and Minnesota Twins.
