Trey Yesavage Nears Return: Blue Jays Get Bullpen Boost
12 Sep
Summary
- Trey Yesavage pitched two innings against live hitters.
- He reached 93 mph during his bullpen session.
- Yesavage is set to begin a rehab assignment with Buffalo next week.
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Trey Yesavage is making significant progress in his recovery from a knee procedure. On Thursday, he threw 30 pitches over two innings against live hitters, demonstrating a velocity of 93 mph. This marks a crucial step after undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus in early August.
Yesavage is expected to travel to Toronto for another bullpen session this Sunday. Following that, he will begin a rehabilitation assignment with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons next week. The team aims for him to throw 40-50 pitches in game action during his rehab, after which he could rejoin the major league club.
During the 2026 season, Yesavage posted a 5-5 record with a 3.76 ERA across 18 starts for the Blue Jays. His 1.14 WHIP and 91 strikeouts over 93.2 innings pitched highlight his effectiveness. If he returns in the coming weeks, he could serve as a valuable stretch-relief option for the Blue Jays as they push for a postseason spot.
