José Berríos has been scuffling, posting a 5.47 ERA and 1.462 WHIP over his last 11 starts, with 11 homers allowed in just 52 2/3 innings, yet Toronto has gone 9-2 in those games thanks to a resilient offense. The Blue Jays are reverting to a five-man rotation, moving Eric Lauer to the bullpen to stabilize things after Berríos’ latest meltdown.

Bo Bichette expressed faith in his teammate, while manager John Schneider stressed that this isn’t a repeat of 2022 and that Berríos will still get his chances. The club aims to rebound starting Sept. 9 vs Houston, with playoff implications shaping whether Berríos or Bassitt fills the fourth-starter role. Fantasy managers should watch how the rotation reset influences upcoming lineups and matchups.
