JOSÉ BERRÍOS NEWS

Hit hard Wednesday Berrios gave up six runs on seven hits and a walk over 1.2 innings in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies. He struck out two.

Impact Facing what looked to be most of Philadelphia's Opening Day lineup, Berrios got hit hard, with a third-inning homer by J.T. Realmuto being the big blow. The results are less important than the fact Berrios got his work in, but fantasy investors would probably like to see a couple better outings before spring training wraps up. The right-hander is coming off a season in which he posted a career-best 3.52 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 26.1 percent strikeout rate over 32 starts and 192 innings between the Twins and Blue Jays, and Berrios is expected to be one of the rotation anchors for a Toronto team with title aspirations.

Signs seven-year extension Berrios agreed Tuesday with the Blue Jays on a seven-year, $131 million extension, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Toronto only had a year and a half of team control over Berrios when it acquired him at the deadline from the Twins this past season, but both sides evidently liked what they saw enough to commit to each other for a long time. Berrios may not stick around for the full seven years, as Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports that he'll be able to opt out after five seasons, but the Blue Jays can count on him remaining near the top of their rotation for an extended period. The righty is still just 27 years old and is coming off a season in which he produced a career-low 3.52 ERA, a number which was backed by career bests in strikeout rate (26.1 percent), walk rate (5.8 percent) and groundball rate (42.8 percent).

Whiffs seven in quality start Berrios didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Yankees, allowing three runs on four hits over six innings. He struck out seven without walking a batter.

Impact The right-hander has proven to be exactly what the Jays needed to help solidify their rotation when they picked him up from the Twins. Berrios has reeled off seven straight quality starts, going 4-2 over that stretch and posting a 2.93 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and dazzling 53:5 K:BB in his last 46 innings. He's probably done for the regular season, but if Toronto finds itself playing a tiebreaker to determine the AL wild card(s), Berrios could be in line to get that start.

Fans 10 in loss Berrios (12-9) took the loss against Minnesota on Friday, pitching six innings and allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out to 10.

Impact The right-hander was touched up for three runs in third inning, but he was otherwise dominant against his former team. Berrios racked up double-digit strikeouts for the fourth time this season and induced 17 swings-and-misses while notching his sixth straight quality start. However, Toronto was able to offer only run of support, sending Berrios to his ninth loss of the campaign. He'll carry a solid 3.48 ERA and 197:45 K:BB into his next start, which is lined up to come at home against the Yankees next week.

Takes down former team Berrios (12-8) allowed three runs on four hits, a walk and a hit batter with six strikeouts in 6.2 innings, earning the win Sunday versus Minnesota.

Impact The 27-year-old turned in a quality start in his first start against Minnesota, the team he entered the majors with in 2016. Berrios gave up three doubles and a home run in the contest, but that hard contact ultimately didn't endanger Toronto's five-run lead from the first inning. The right-hander has a 3.45 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 187:43 K:BB across 180 innings overall. He lines up for his return to Target Field in a rematch with the Twins during next weekend's four-game series.

Cleared to start Sunday Berrios (abdomen) will start with no restrictions Sunday against the Twins, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Berrios has felt good the past few days after dealing with left abdominal tightness during Tuesday's outing, so he'll remain on a five-day schedule and take the mound Sunday. The right-hander has a 1.98 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 30:2 K:BB in 27.1 innings across his past four starts, and he'll attempt to continue that strong form versus last-place Minnesota.

Feeling better Wednesday Manager Charlie Montoyo said Wednesday that he's hopeful that Berrios (abdomen) will be able to make his next start, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact Berrios was removed from Tuesday's start against the Rays due to left abdominal tightness, but he's feeling much better Wednesday. The right-hander hasn't required additional imaging and is slated to play catch ahead of Wednesday's series finale against Tampa Bay. If he continues to progress well, Berrios tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against the Rays on Monday.
