Needs left elbow surgery
Barriera is set to undergo left elbow surgery, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Barriera has been on the 7-day injured list with Single-A Dunedin after sustaining a left elbow injury April 6. It's unclear whether the operation will be for Tommy John surgery or an internal brace, but Mitchell notes that the left-hander will be out for at least 10 months. Barriera was taken by the Blue Jays in the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft. The southpaw posted a 4.42 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over six starts with Dunedin in 2023.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Barriera, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound prep southpaw from Florida, has an impressive blend of athleticism and stuff. His left-handed delivery is very smooth, which gives evaluators confidence he will be a strike thrower in pro ball. He has a mid-90s fastball that has touched 99 mph and a monster slider that is one of the best breaking balls any teenager possesses. Barriera also mixes in a curveball and changeup that are in development. There's not much to complain about other than his distant ETA (he turns 19 in March). Barriera shut himself down in the spring after pitching well enough to secure a spot in the first round, and Toronto gave him $3.6 million after selecting him with the 23rd overall pick. He will make his pro debut in 2023 and has significant breakout potential.
