Toronto Blue Jays starter, Jose Barrios, missed the World Baseball Classic with Puerto Rico

after an insurance test spotted elbow inflammation.

The 31-year-old right-hander got flagged just before the tournament.

The team followed up with their own MRI check.

Manager John Schneider shared that Barrios feels perfectly fine and plans to keep throwing

in spring training, skipping just his next scheduled start.

Officials downplayed any major worries for the two-time All-Star.

Last season Barrios posted a 4.17 ERA and 1.301 whip across 166 innings with a hundred

38 strikeouts.

Barrios now eyes a strong rebound in the 2026 campaign.

Spring training gives him time to build back steadily without rushing.

For now, the Jays are taking a cautious, letting him ease in while monitoring progress closely.
