Jose Berrios faces a long road back to the majors.
The Toronto Blue Jays right-hander underwent a full Tommy John surgery this week, manager John Schneider announced Wednesday.
Recovery from that procedure typically carries a 12-18 month timeline.
The Blue Jays announced over the weekend that Berrios would have elbow surgery after a meeting with Dr. Keith Meister. At that time, it was unclear which type of surgery would be required.
Berrios did not pitch for the Blue Jays this season after an MRI in spring training revealed a stress fracture in his elbow. He did pitch in triple-A as part of a rehab process before being shut down again and having surgery.
More to come…
