Blue Jays right-hander José Berríos made his spring debut, pitching 2 2/3 innings against the Mets, overcoming health concerns that plagued him last season. Despite a relatively injury-marred year, he logged 166 innings and aims to secure a rotation spot behind Dylan Cease and Kevin Gausman, especially with Shane Bieber expected to start on the IL. Left-hander Eric Lauer may begin in the bullpen but hopes for a starting role, although trade rumors persist amid the Jays’ depth concerns. The team’s pitching strategy hinges on Berríos’ performance and potential roster adjustments as the season unfolds.
