Overview

• Manager John Schneider said Berríos will undergo an MRI to determine the cause of the elbow issue and a recovery timeline.
• Because of IL rules, he cannot be activated until Oct. 10 at the earliest, ruling him out for next week’s Wild Card Series.
• Toronto recalled right-hander Paxton Schultz from Triple-A Buffalo as the corresponding roster move.
• The IL decision follows Berríos’ first relief outing since 2017 and a recent dip of roughly 1 mph in velocity that the club linked to the elbow problem.
• His absence compounds rotation uncertainty with Chris Bassitt already on the IL, as the Blue Jays try to stabilize their pitching down the stretch.
