Berrios will probably be fine.
Berrios is 6th in Quality Starts in the MLB since 2023 (Wheeler, Webb, Valdez, Lugo, Castillo Berrios)
Even just this season he's 24th with 13 quality starts (leads the Jays), even though his ERA is 4.00.
His issue is when he has a bad start he's usually pretty terrible, but is otherwise very reliable outside of those blow up starts. And sure he was bad against Texas, but his 5 starts before that were all wins.
To me he looks like a guy that will benefit from some extra rest if they move to a 6 man rotation down the stretch here. If he can be a guy that can be your 4th starter come playoffs that you can count on for 6 innings you're probably in good shape, and maybe he ends up 5 if Bieber looks like Cy Young Bieber.
Scherzer: 3.60 ERA
Gausman:3.78 ERA
Lauer: 2.76 ERA
Berrios: 4.00 ERA
Bassit: 4.18 ERA
Bieber: ???
Lauer should stay as a starter just because he's your only lefty but might also hurt him since they need a lefty in the bullpen.
