Jose Berrios resting his inflamed right elbow today after the Toronto Blue Jays receiving some worrying results from his MRI.
The sudden medical news definitely caused a momentary panic across the passionate fan base this morning.
We all desperately wanted to watch our ace completely carve up the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon.
But the front office is playing incredibly smart with our absolute beloved rotation workhorse today.
He recently underwent a routine MRI strictly for the World Baseball Classic insurance evaluation process.
Jose Berrios has been scratched from his start against the Phillies on Thursday
A recent MRI during the WBC insurance process revealed inflammation in his right elbow - a different issue than the one he dealt with last season
A recent MRI during the WBC insurance process revealed inflammation in his right elbow - a different issue than the one he dealt with last season
The imaging unfortunately revealed some mild inflammation deep inside his incredibly valuable right pitching elbow.
The medical staff quickly confirmed this is a completely different physical issue than his previous minor ailments.
He finished last season with a gorgeous 9-5 record alongside a 4.17 ERA and 138 massive strikeouts.
Racking up 166 massive innings perfectly proves his undeniable absolute physical durability on the major league mound.
The medical staff understands the big picture entirely
Every single fan feels a massive wave of pure relief knowing they caught this early.
Pitching through minor discomfort during meaningless spring training games is a foolish recipe for a summer disaster.
Allowing him to strictly rest perfectly guarantees his lethal velocity remains completely intact for opening day.
We desperately need his devastating slurve carving up the division rivals in September, not early March.
The current starting rotation possesses enough established veteran depth to easily absorb his temporary physical absence.
Trust the brilliant training staff to prepare our seasoned superstar perfectly for another spectacular championship push.
Taking a highly strategic physical break guarantees that inflammation vanishes completely before the major league games genuinely count.
