Shortly after being demoted to a bullpen role, he was placed on the injured list due to, as he put it, a variety of ailments."I've been battling all year long with my elbow, my bicep, but with the way my team was competing out there, I was trying to trying to [stay] out there," Berrios said in an appearance on MLB Network. Berrios has taken plenty of heat for his distance from the team during their historic run to the World Series this past fall.
