Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios, who has not pitched in a major league ​game since last September, ‌will undergo surgery for a stress fracture in his elbow, manager John Schneider said Saturday.

Berrios, 31, did not ‌participate ​in the Blue ⁠Jays’ run to ⁠the World Series last season or the World Baseball Classic this spring for his native Puerto ​Rico with what was first diagnosed as right elbow ⁠inflammation last season.

After making ⁠four minor league appearances ​while on a rehab assignment this ​season, more elbow discomfort led ‌to a diagnosis of a stress fracture.

A timetable for a return will be made after ⁠surgery is performed Wednesday with a possibility he could miss the entire 2026 ⁠season.

Berrios was ‌9-5 with a ⁠4.17 ERA in 31 appearances (30 ​starts) ‌last season. In 10 ​major league ⁠seasons, the two-time All-Star is 108-82 with a 4.08 ERA in 275 appearances (273 starts) for the Minnesota Twins (2016-21) and Blue Jays.
