Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jose Berrios allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out 13 across seven innings in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Minnesota Twins. He picked up his fourth win of the season. The 28-year-old was efficient on Saturday, throwing 90 pitches and firing 58 for strikes. He bounced back in a big way, striking out a career-high 13 batters after being blasted for six earned runs in 2 1/3 innings in his previous start. Berrios owns a 5.24 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, and a 49:16 K: BB across 56 2/3 innings in 2022. The right-hander will look to keep things rolling in Friday's start on the road against the Detroit Tigers.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios had his best start of the year so far in his last trip to the mound against the Seattle Mariners this past Tuesday. He pitched seven scoreless innings and allowed six hits and two walks while striking out four. He entered the game with a 5.82 ERA on the year, but was able to lower his season-long ERA to 4.83 after the start. It's been a dreadful start to the year overall for the 27-year-old. He currently has a career-low strikeout rate of 15.3% and his Statcast metrics are terrifying, including a 6.82 xERA and a .326 xBA against. Both of those metrics rank in the bottom 4% of the league. Berrios will look to build off his previous start in his next start, which will be on Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios had a mediocre month of April, and things have only gotten worse in May. After putting up a 4.13 ERA in 24 April innings with two quality starts in five tries, Berrios has allowed 11 runs in 10 innings in May with only four strikeouts. All told, that adds up to a 5.82 ERA and 1.56 WHIP with 24 strikeouts in 34 innings. There isn't much reason for optimism in the underlying numbers, as he's in no higher that the fourth percentile in all of xwOBA, xERA, xBA, and xSLG. Fantasy managers face a tough decision on whether to hold or seek to recoup some value in the trade market on name recognition alone.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios had his best start of the young season on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox. He pitched six innings and allowed eight hits, one walk and one earned run while striking out six. It was his first quality start and he also earned his first win for his efforts. Berrios struggled over his previous two outings before this one. On Opening Day, he only managed to record one out while allowing four earned runs. He then allowed six hits, three walks and three earned runs over five innings in his second outing. We'll see if the 27-year-old can build off this outing in his next trip to the mound on Monday, when he'll be facing the Red Sox once again.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios did not fare well in his Opening Day start against the Texas Rangers on Friday. Berrios got just one out in the game while coughing up four runs on three hits and two walks. He was replaced in the game by Tayler Saucedo after throwing 34 pitches, 18 of which went for strikes. While the rough outing wasn't what fantasy gamers wanted to see out of Berrios in his 2022 debut, he remains one of the better starting pitchers in baseball and should be given the benefit of the doubt. Berrios will look to get back on track in his next start, which will come on the road against the New York Yankees on Wednesday.

Toronto Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo confirmed on Thursday that starting pitcher Jose Berrios will be the team's Opening Day starter on Friday, April 8, against the Texas Rangers at home. Berrios made a career-high 32 starts last year with the Minnesota Twins and Blue Jays, going a combined 12-9 with a 3.52 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, a career-high 26.8% strikeout rate and a career-low 4.5% walk rate in 192 innings pitched. The right-hander is as reliable as they come, tossing 647 2/3 innings since 2018, which ranks fifth in all of baseball. Berrios is in a much tougher division in the American League East, but he also has a better offense behind him, and he should be a consistent source of innings and strikeouts.

The Toronto Blue Jays are signing right-handed starter Jose Berrios to a seven-year, $131 million contract extension on Tuesday, pending a physical, according to a source. According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Berrios has an opt-out clause after Year 5 and 7 of the extension, and the deal has escalators that can take it up $10 million and an eight-team no-trade list. The 27-year-old was acquired from the Twins at this year's trade deadline. Berrios went 12-9 with a 3.52 ERA over 32 starts with the Twins and Jays in 2021, striking out a career-high 204 hitters in 192 innings while also setting a career-high with a 4.5 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Since 2017, he has made 133 starts, including 32 in each of the last three seasons, minus the shortened campaign in 2020. Berrios is a solid fantasy arm, but staying in a hitter-friendly environment and the tough American League East long term could be dicey.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios picked up his 12th win of the season on Sunday as his club defeated his former Minnesota Twins team 5-3. The right-hander gave up three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six over 6 2/3 IP, marking his fifth-straight game registering a quality start. He was handed a five-run lead after the first, so he was able to cruise through most of the start until a home run in the seventh ended his night after 100 pitches. Berrios is having another solid fantasy campaign in his age-27 season with a 3.45 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 187 K in 180 IP in 30 starts this season. He'll have another chance to defeat his former club in a rematch versus the Twins from Minnesota next week.

He pitched seven innings and allowed four hits, no walks and one earned run while striking out four. He went on to receive treatment for the injury after the game. There is no word at this point in regards to the severity of the injury. We should know more soon. As of now, he is still lined up to make his next start against the Rays on Monday.

After rattling off three-straight wins, Berrios' record now drops to 11-8 on the year with a sharp 3.43 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 181 K through 173 1/3 IP this season. The 27-year-old will get a rematch with the Rays in his next scheduled start next week where he should continue to be fired up in all lineups.

The right-hander lasted 6 2/3 innings while giving up three runs on four hits, no walks, and seven strikeouts in the 103-pitch effort. He surrendered just two hits and a run before entering the seventh where he ran into a bit of trouble by allowing a pair of hits and a run to score before the bullpen let one of his inherited runners to also score. The Jays have got both the good and bad versions of Berrios so far since his acquisition at the deadline, but all in all he's posted a sharp 3.55 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 169 K through 159 2/3 IP. He'll get the Yankees in his upcoming start next week in the Bronx.

He gave up a whopping nine hits including three-straight to begin the game and six total in a four-run first inning. The bright spot was Berrios struck out six batters without issuing a free pass before getting pulled after throwing 68 pitches. After dominating his first two starts as a Jay, Berrios has struggled over his last three outings with 12 ER in 12 1/3 IP to push his ERA up to 3.70 on the year. Managers should stay the course with the right-hander as he'll have a chance to right his ship with a matchup versus the Tigers this weekend.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios gave up three runs (two earned) over five innings versus the Nationals on Wednesday during the club's 8-5 loss. All the damage against him came in the first inning after Juan Soto took him deep for a three-run shot before he could even record an out, but he settled down after that and ended up with a no-decision. The right-hander finished the afternoon with five hits and three walks allowed while striking out three in the 88-pitch effort before the Nats blew the game open against the Jays bullpen. Berrios will take a 3.52 ERA and 1.10 WHIP into his next start versus a familiar opponent in the White Sox.

The right-hander had one terrible inning in the second where he allowed four runs as he finished the night giving up eight hits and four walks while striking out three in the underwhelming effort. Berrios was dominant in his first two outings with Toronto, but he's proven to be susceptible to these type of starts despite holding a sharp 3.52 ERA and 1.09 WHIP on the year.

Berrios has now allowed just one run over 12 innings with a 13/1 K/BB in his first two starts with his new club, perhaps getting a mental boost now that he's thrown into a playoff race. He'll look to keep his momentum going in his next scheduled start versus the Mariners.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios started off on a good note with his new club on Sunday, tossing six-scoreless frames in the team's 5-1 win over the Royals. The right-hander allowed five hits and one walk while striking out seven batters in the 95-pitch outing as he improved his record to 8-5 on the year. With the move to the AL East, Berrios will face some stiffer competition than his regular AL Central foes, but he should see more wins now that he's backed by one of the league's brightest offenses. He'll take a crisp 3.31 ERA and 1.04 WHIP into his next contest versus the Red Sox.

He's been having a great year on the mound in Minnesota, going 7-5 with a 3.48 ERA, 1.044 WHIP and 25.7 percent strikeout rate over 121 2/3 innings of work.
