• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Velocity up in minor-league game

  Rotowire Mar 26, 2026

  Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Thursday that Yesavage's (shoulder) velocity "bumped back up" during a "very effective" appearance in a minor-league game Wednesday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports. It's an encouraging step for Yesavage, who did not make any spring training appearances while battling a right shoulder impingement. A rehab assignment for the rookie right-hander would appear imminent, and he will likely require several rehab starts before he's ready to rejoin the Blue Jays' rotation.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: MiLB game on tap

  Rotowire Mar 22, 2026

  Yesavage (shoulder) is scheduled to start a minor-league game Wednesday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports. Manager John Schneider has already announced that Yesavage will begin the season on the injured list due to a shoulder impingement, but the right-hander continues to build up after having a delayed start to spring training. The 22-year-old's absence to begin the season may not be lengthy, which is good news for a Toronto rotation that's struggled with injuries this spring.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Will open season on IL

  Rotowire Mar 19, 2026

  Yesavage will open the season on the 15-day injured list due to a right shoulder impingement, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports. Manager John Schneider said Thursday that Yesavage came to spring training with the injury, which explains his slow build-up throughout camp. The Blue Jays don't expect Yesavage will need to stop throwing, but he needs more time to get ready for the regular season. The plan is for Yesavage to throw off a mound again next week. With Yesavage, Shane Bieber (forearm) and Jose Berrios (elbow) set to miss the beginning of the season, Cody Ponce, Max Scherzer and Eric Lauer figure to join Dylan Cease and Kevin Gausman in the rotation.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Throwing simulated game Wednesday

  Rotowire Mar 10, 2026

  Yesavage is scheduled for a two-inning simulated game against minor leaguers Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports. The Blue Jays are slow-playing Yesavage this spring after he had a significant workload jump in 2025. While the young right-hander is still expected to break camp as a member of Toronto's rotation, his workload limitations will carry over into the beginning of the regular season.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Limited workload to start season

  Rotowire Mar 6, 2026

  Yesavage could face a workload restriction to begin the season, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. The Blue Jays have been pitching Yesavage in live batting practice sessions rather than games so far this spring, and there's no timeline for when he will appear in a Grapefruit League contest. Manager John Schneider noted Friday that "we still view him as a starter," but the righty could be limited to 3-to-4 innings per start early in the season. Toronto is being careful with Yesavage's workload after he threw 139.2 innings across all levels in 2025, including the postseason -- a 46.1-inning jump from his final collegiate season in 2024.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Easing into action

  Rotowire Feb 24, 2026

  Yesavage threw a side session Tuesday and is expected to make his Grapefruit League debut sometime next week, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports. The Blue Jays are building up Yesavage deliberately following a considerable workload jump in 2025. His next mound work will be a live batting practice session, and a Grapefruit League start could follow that. The top pitching prospect threw 139.2 innings in 2025, including the postseason, after logging 93.1 innings as a junior at East Carolina in 2024. The Blue Jays plan to manage Yesavage's workload fluidly throughout the season, per Zwelling, who notes that Yesavage could have starts skipped or pushed back depending on how he's recovering between outings.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Looking to increase repertoire

  Rotowire Feb 2, 2026

  Yesavage would like to add a curveball to his pitch mix this season, Kristjan Lautens of the Toronto Star reports. The 22-year-old right-hander rocketed through the Blue Jays' system last season after being the 20th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, beginning the campaign at Single-A Dunedin and ending it by setting a World Series record for strikeouts in a game by a rookie. Yesavage leaned heavily on his fastball in the majors while mixing in a slider and splitter nearly equally, but he knows he'll need to give big-league hitters another wrinkle now that they've had a look at him. "I have a funky [over the top] arm angle, so I've just got to play around with it. I would love [a pitch] that moves glove side," he said last week. Jays GM Ross Atkins has already indicated Yesavage will begin the year in the rotation, and after he threw 139.2 innings across all levels including the postseason in 2025, he won't have a strict innings limit.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: No hard innings cap in 2026

  Rotowire Dec 8, 2025

  Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Monday that Yesavage will be in the team's rotation in 2026 and will not have a strict innings limit, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. Between the minors, regular season and postseason, Yesavage threw a total of 139.2 innings in 2025 in his first professional season. While the Blue Jays will no doubt keep an eye on the right-hander's workload, particularly early on in the season, he will not be working with a strict innings cap. Yesavage posted a 3.21 ERA and 16:7 K:BB over 14 regular-season innings and a 3.58 ERA and 39:11 K:BB across 27.2 postseason frames for Toronto.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Historic performance in Game 5

  Rotowire Oct 30, 2025

  Yesavage (3-1) picked up the win in Game 5 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing one earned run on three hits and no walks while striking out 12 batters in seven innings. Outside of the third-inning solo homer he gave up to Enrique Hernandez, Yesavage's performance Wednesday was nothing short of brilliant versus one of baseball's most dynamic offenses. The 22-year-old righty pounded the strike zone, throwing 71 of his 104 pitches for strikes, and he finished the night with a dozen punchouts -- the most any rookie has had in a World Series game. Now carrying a 3.46 ERA in the postseason, Yesavage is done starting games in 2025, but he's expected to be available out of the bullpen if the series goes to Game 7.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Takes no-decision in Game 1

  Rotowire Oct 25, 2025

  Yesavage didn't factor into the decision in Game 1 of the World Series against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five batters across four innings. Yesavage got off to a strong start by retiring the side in order in the first -- highlighted by a strikeout of Shohei Ohtani -- but the rookie right-hander eventually fell victim to the strength of Los Angeles' offense. An Enrique Hernandez RBI single gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead in the second, and Will Smith plated another run with his single in the third. Yesavage's pitch count had reached 80 by the end of the fourth frame, forcing Toronto to turn to its bullpen early and preventing the 22-year-old from benefiting from the Jays' nine-run explosion in the sixth. If the Dodgers are able to win at least one of the next three contests, Yesavage would likely be the choice to take the mound in Los Angeles for Game 5.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Starting World Series Game 1

  Rotowire Oct 23, 2025

  Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Yesavage will start Game 1 of the World Series versus the Dodgers on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. At 22 years and 88 days old, Yesavage will be the second-youngest World Series Game 1 starter in history, per Sarah Langs of MLB.com. He will be opposed by Blake Snell. Yesavage has made three starts this postseason, collecting a 4.20 ERA and 22:7 K:BB over 15 innings. The Blue Jays have not yet named their Game 2 starter, but it will likely be Kevin Gausman.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Bounces back in Game 6

  Rotowire Oct 19, 2025

  Yesavage earned the win after he pitched 5.2 innings, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven in Sunday's 6-2 victory over Seattle in Game 6 of the ALCS. Yesavage toed the rubber for the second time in the series, bouncing back well after surrendering five runs over four innings in Game 2. The right-hander was able to blank the Mariners through five innings before he gave up a two-out solo home run to Josh Naylor in the top of the sixth. Yesavage then surrendered a two-out single to Randy Arozarena, and he was subsequently removed from the game. Arozarena later came around to score on a single by Eugenio Suarez. Yesavage has now posted a 4.20 ERA with 22 strikeouts over 15 innings in three starts during the postseason.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Getting ball in ALCS Game 6

  Rotowire Oct 17, 2025

  Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that Yesavage will start Game 6 of the ALCS versus the Mariners on Sunday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. Yesavage struggled in Game 2, alowing five runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. He had a dominant start against the Yankees in the ALDS, however, and will get an opportunity to bounce back Sunday. Depending on what happens in Game 5 on Friday, Yesavage's start Sunday will either be to help send the Blue Jays to the World Series or allow them to stave off elimination.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Set to start Game 2

  Rotowire Oct 12, 2025

  Manager John Schneider announced that Yesavage will start Game 2 of the ALCS against the Mariners on Monday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. The right-hander was available out of the bullpen for Game 4 of the ALDS versus the Yankees, but he wasn't utilized and will start Game 2 of the ALCS. Yesavage made his postseason debut against New York in Game 2 and delivered 5.1 scoreless and hitless innings while racking up 11 strikeouts.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Yields four runs in no-decision

  Rotowire Sep 21, 2025

  Yesavage did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Royals, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two across four innings. Yesavage earned another start after dazzling in his debut against the Rays on Monday, when he struck out nine batters across five innings. He retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced Sunday before giving up two runs in the fourth inning, and he was tagged for two more in the fifth after being lifted without recording an out. Yesavage has given up five earned runs while striking out 11 batters through the first nine innings of his major-league career as he looks to make his case for a spot in the Blue Jays' rotation in the postseason. His last chance to audition will be next weekend against the Rays in Toronto.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Drawing start Sunday versus Royals

  Rotowire Sep 18, 2025

  Yesavage will start Sunday's game in Kansas City, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. Yesavage was impressive in his major-league debut Monday against the Rays, striking out nine over five innings of one-run ball. That has earned him at least one more regular-season start, and it's a favorable matchup versus the Royals. Yesavage threw just 69 pitches in his outing against the Rays, and it's not clear what the Blue Jays have planned for his workload Sunday.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Dazzles in debut

  Rotowire Sep 15, 2025

  Yesavage took a no-decision in Monday's extra-innings win at Tampa Bay, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out nine. The rookie right-hander set a new Blue Jays record by notching nine punchouts in his MLB debut. Yesavage featured a three-pitch mix anchored by a four-seam fastball that averaged 94.6 mph. The East Carolina product generated an astounding 19 whiffs out of his 69 total pitches, living up to the hype generated by his 41.4 percent K-rate in 98 minor-league innings across four stops. The only blemish on Yesavage's line was scored via a Yandy Diaz RBI double in the first. Given the positives from this performance, the 22-year-old is likely to stick in the Toronto rotation and could line up to pitch this weekend at Kansas City.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Used in relief with Buffalo

  Rotowire Sep 3, 2025

  Yesavage struck out six while giving up two hits and a walk over three scoreless relief innings for Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday. The usage was particularly interesting when it comes to Yesavage's chances of making his big-league debut in September, as he entered the game as a bulk reliever after Paxton Schultz worked the first inning as an opener. Yesavage wound up tossing 54 pitches (35 strikes) before exiting, and he had little trouble dealing with a Syracuse lineup that featured a mix of rehabbing major leaguers like Francisco Alvarez (thumb/finger) and top Mets hitting prospects like Jett Williams and Carson Benge. Yesavage isn't on the 40-man roster and wasn't added to the 26-man roster before Sept. 1, so he'd need an exemption from the league to be eligible for postseason play, but the Blue Jays appear to be seriously considering having him bolster a faltering big-league bullpen down the stretch. Over four Triple-A appearances, the 22-year-old right-hander sports a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB in 14 innings.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Finding footing at Triple-A

  Rotowire Aug 28, 2025

  Yesavage allowed one run on two hits and two walks over 4.2 innings for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday. He struck out five. After a bumpy debut at Triple-A on Aug. 14, the 22-year-old right-hander has a 3.86 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB in 9.1 innings over his last two starts. Yesavage has pitched at four levels in his first pro campaign, and the 2024 first-round pick could make it five if the Blue Jays add him to the big-league bullpen in September.

• Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Moving up to Triple-A

  Rotowire Aug 11, 2025

  The Blue Jays promoted Yesavage from Double-A New Hampshire to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. Yesavage will be moving up to his fourth affiliate of the season after beginning the campaign at Single-A Dunedin. In three stops so far, the 2024 first-round pick has collected a 3.01 ERA and 134:30 K:BB across 80.2 innings. Yesavage could push for a big-league promotion in September, perhaps as a reliever or if a need arises in the Blue Jays rotation.
