Toronto Blue Jays starting pitchers Chris Bassitt and Jose Berrios who are on the mend have been working hard to get back to the team.
According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet, Jose Berrios (elbow) has yet to resume throwing and will not be part of the Blue Jays' ALDS roster.
A second opinion on Berrios' right elbow confirmed that he has no structural damage, but he's not close to being ready to pitch in a game setting.
While it's possible Berrios will be an option later in the playoffs if the Blue Jays make a run, that won't be a consideration until he's ramped up his throwing.
Berrios, 31, has been a fairly steady presence in the Toronto rotation this year. He has given the club 166 innings with a 4.17 earned run average.
Durability has been a hallmark of the righty's career. This is actually his first ever trip to the major league IL.
Follow-up for Jose Berrios showed no structural damage in elbow, but he won't be a factor in ALDS as he's still not throwing. Possible he's ready later in the playoffs.
Chris Bassitt, meanwhile, progressing well and should be available for ALDS.

Chris Bassitt (back) is expected to be available to pitch during the ALDS, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports.
Bassitt landed on the 15-day injured list late in the regular season with lower-back inflammation, but he's made good progress with the injury since then.
Bassitt owns a 3.96 ERA and 166 strikeouts across 31 starts this season, earning an 11-9 record.
His last start came on Sept. 18 against the Tampa Bay Rays, where he allowed eight hits and three earned runs in 4.1 innings of work.
While it appears likely Bassitt will be included on the Blue Jays' ALDS roster, it's unclear whether the club will use him in the rotation or bullpen.
