Overview
- T he team said Yesavage will make another rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo next week with a call-up possible soon after if he responds well.
- His most recent outing against Rochester lasted 4.1 innings and 71 pitches with five strikeouts, and the next start is slated to push toward roughly 75–80 pitches.
- Yesavage has missed the season to date with right shoulder inflammation, and the club has kept a slow build to clear him for rotation duty.
- Reporter accounts suggest Patrick Corbin could lose his rotation spot once Yesavage returns, while José Berríos has begun a rehab at Single-A Dunedin and Shane Bieber has yet to start one.
- A 2024 first-round pick who surged to the majors and won postseason starts in 2025, Yesavage’s return carries outsized weight for Toronto’s staff and late-season plans.
