The Toronto Blue Jays have beefed up their starting rotation this off season, with Max Scherzer

returning Shane Bieber on board and Big New Arms like Dylan Sees and Cody Ponds.

It's a solid group heading into the season.

But now this trouble with key starter Jose Barrios.

He got scratched from his Thursday start against the Phillies after an MRI showed inflammation

in his right elbow.

This came up during World Baseball Classic Insurance checks, and it's a fresh problem,

not like last year's issue.

Barrios feels fine right now, but elbow inflammation is always worrisome for pictures.

Last season, he had a 4.17 urn run average over 30 starts, which was below his usual form

from the two years before.

The Jays really need him healthy to round out that revamp rotation, especially with Bieber's

own early season questions.

Seeing Barrios for any stretch could hurt their early momentum.

Keep an eye on this as opening day gets closer.

Updates on his status could come any day now, and it might shake up their plans.
