Adding star prospect Trey Yesavage to the roster for a September call-up would be a boost for the Toronto Blue Jays. Yesavage represents a bright future for the Blue Jays with a fresh arm in the rotation for 2026.
Blue Jays Yesavage Inching Closer to MLB debut
Yesavage’s Bright Future With Blue Jays
But having him make his debut this season will demonstrate what’s to come for next season. Yesavage should get a taste of big league baseball; he has been dominant on the mound and has made significant strides in his journey through the Blue Jays farm system.
He started off the season in Single-A Dunedin and is now pitching in Triple-A. Rising quickly through the system, Yesavage is a 21-year-old who has advanced to Triple-A in his first season of professional baseball. Yesavage began this year with the Single-A Dunedin team.
He posted a 2.43 ERA across seven starts with 55 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings pitched. His performance earned him a promotion to the High-A Vancouver team. The success of Yesavage forced the hands of the Blue Jays to test him even further by promoting him to Triple-A Buffalo on Aug. 12.
Facing Adversity Early Has Allowed Him to Rebound
After a bumpy debut at Triple-A on Aug. 14, the 22-year-old right-hander had sported a 3.86 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 13:4 K: BB in 9.1 innings over his last two starts. The youngster has pitched at four levels in his first pro campaign, and the 2024 first-round pick could make it five if the Blue Jays give him a chance in the big leagues in the bullpen in September.
Overall, he has met his match. Across two starts, he has given up five earned runs on five hits across 6 1/3 innings pitched. His ERA is 4.91, which is a little higher than we are used to for Yesavage, along with 16 strikeouts
