Overview

  • Manager John Schneider confirmed Yesavage will start Monday in Tampa and said there are no innings restrictions.
  • The club expects to deploy the 22-year-old as a starter or in relief based on need as it pushes for the AL East title.
  • Yesavage advanced from Single-A Dunedin to Triple-A Buffalo this year and moved into shorter stints in August as he neared the majors.
  • Scouting reports highlight an unusually high release point, a 93–95 mph fastball with carry, and plus splitter and slider that have baffled hitters.
  • Toronto has not announced the corresponding roster move, and reports say Buffalo’s manager gave Yesavage the option to shut down or take the call-up, which he accepted.
