Berríos sidelined by elbow stress fracture, Opening Day in doubt

Blue Jays right-hander José Berríos has a stress fracture in his right elbow and will miss Opening Day. An MRI revealed elbow inflammation during a pre-World Baseball Classic physical, though he’s currently pain-free and will take a few days off from throwing with the hope of pitching again later, timeline TBD. The injury comes as Toronto reshapes its rotation with several acquisitions, leaving the Jays to balance depth while Berríos’s future return remains uncertain.

Greene MRI Adds Uncertainty to Reds' Rotation

Reds ace Hunter Greene will undergo an MRI on his right elbow after renewed stiffness dating back to last season. He previously faced a recommended injection and has had bone spurs but reports his UCL is intact; a diagnosis from team physician Tim Kremchek with a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache will follow. While surgery hasn't been recommended, his availability for the season’s start is uncertain. Cincinnati’s rotation depth could be tested, with Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, Brady Singer and prospects Chase Burns and Rhett Lowder in the mix, and the club signaling no immediate plans to sign additional free-agent starters.

Bryce Harper's Surgically-Repaired Elbow Struck, Forces Early Exit

Bryce Harper, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder, left Saturday's game against the Marlins after being hit in his surgically-repaired right elbow by a pitch. Harper was in pain but remained in the game to run the bases before being replaced in the fifth inning. X-rays were negative, but it is unclear if he will play in the next game. The incident is reminiscent of a previous injury that sidelined Harper for two months last year. The Phillies hope that this latest incident does not impact their plans to have Harper return as a first baseman after the All-Star break.
