JOSÉ BERRÍOS NEWS

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.

Tosses seven strong Berrios (11-8) picked up a tough-luck loss after pitching seven innings of one-run ball against the Rays on Tuesday. He gave up four hits while striking out four.

Impact The 27-year-old surrendered a solo home run to Ji-Man Choi in the second inning, which amounted to all the damage against him in the contest. It was his fourth consecutive quality start; he has posted a 1.98 ERA and 0.77 WHIP over his last 27.1 innings. Berrios will look to extend his streak to five in his next projected start Monday against the Rays.

Picks up third straight win Berrios (11-7) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Yankees on Thursday.

Impact The right-hander's lone mistake was a two-run Anthony Rizzo home run in the sixth inning, but Bo Bichette put Toronto ahead again with an RBI single in the seventh. Berrios has a 26:2 K:BB with six runs allowed (five earned) across 20.1 innings in his last three starts, all of which were wins.

Earns 10th win Berrios (10-7) allowed three runs on four hits and struck out seven in 6.2 innings to earn the win Saturday over Oakland.

Impact The right-hander turned in his second straight quality start with a strong showing Saturday, although Toronto's bullpen nearly let a seven-run lead slip away in the ninth inning.

He's also gone 16.2 innings without walking a batter. The 27-year-old lines up for a tough road start against the Yankees next week.

Fans 11 in win Berrios (9-7) allowed an unearned run on six hits and struck out 11 in seven innings to earn the win Sunday versus Detroit.

Impact After allowing 13 runs (12 earned) across his last three starts, this was an encouraging bounce-back effort for Berrios, opponent not withstanding. The right-hander gave up his lone run in the sixth inning after an error. He's gone 2-2 in six starts with Toronto since he was acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline. Berrios has a 3.53 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 162:40 K:BB across 153 innings overall. He lines up for a home start versus Oakland next weekend.

Lasts only three innings Tuesday Berrios dropped to 8-7 after giving up four runs on nine hits while striking out six over three innings Tuesday in the Blue Jays' 5-2 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Though Berrios ended his night on a high note by striking out the final three batters he faced, he couldn't dig himself out of an early hole. After allowing back-to-back base hits to Luis Robert and Yoan Moncada to begin the game, Berrios served up a three-run home run to Jose Abreu. He would go on to allow another run in the top of the first before righting the ship thereafter, but because Berrios was already up to 68 pitches after three innings, manager Charlie Montoyo elected to pull the plug on the right-hander. Berrios has now submitted a 4.81 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in five starts with the Blue Jays since joining the team ahead of the July 30 trade deadline.

Impact The right-hander served up a three-run shot to Juan Soto in the first inning, but he settled down after that and gave the Jays a chance to rally -- which they did in the top of the seventh inning, getting Berrios off the hook for the loss, but Brad Hand promptly gave the game away in the bottom of the frame. Through four starts for Toronto since coming over from Minnesota at the trade deadline, Berrios has a 3.80 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB through 21.1 innings.

Struggles early in loss to Angels Berrios (8-6) gave up six runs on eight hits and four walks over 4.1 innings in a loss to the Angels on Thursday. He had three strikeouts.

Impact Berrios both struggled with his control and allowed a fair amount of hard contact on the way to his first loss as a Blue Jay. He was able to pitch out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the first inning, but he couldn't avoid trouble again in the second when the Angels struck for four runs. Berrios was ultimately chased from the game with one out in the fifth, matching his shortest start of the season, which happened way back on April 14. Berrios is tentatively slated to make his next start on the road against the Nationals.

Strikes out six in quality start Berrios allowed one run on five hits and struck out six over six innings en route to a no-decision in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Berrios recorded his third consecutive quality start Saturday night, as he was his usual stellar self through six innings. The only stain on his outing came via a game-tying solo home run off the bat of Alex Verdugo in the sixth. Berrios didn't issue a walk to the Red Sox all night, as the Puerto Rican right-hander has now given just two free passes in his last four starts. Berrios has also been stingy with regards to earned runs, having allowed just one in his last three outings. He'll likely toe the rubber again Friday against the Mariners.
