Minnesota Twins pitcher Jose Berrios does not appear likely to be knocked off schedule despite dealing with a blister injury.
Berrios left Saturday’s game against the Kansas City Royals after throwing 90 pitches in seven innings due to a blister problem. It does not sound like that blister will cost him a start, as he is expected to remain on his usual between-start regimen.
The plan is for Jose Berrios to stick to his regular between starts schedule. He should throw in the bullpen Tuesday at Target Field

Blisters can linger, so Berrios’ status is still worth watching going forward, but unless he suffers a setback it appears likely that he’ll be on track to make his next start.
Berrios has pitched like an ace for Minnesota this year, posting a 2.84 ERA in 16 starts.
