Overview

  • Yesavage said his parents, brothers and girlfriend have faced attacks tied to his postseason performance and asked that it stop.
  • He declined follow-up questions and did not identify where the messages came from or which platforms were involved.
  • Manager John Schneider publicly commended the rookie for using his platform to defend loved ones.
  • Yesavage surged into the spotlight by striking out 11 Yankees over 5 1/3 hitless innings in ALDS Game 2 and is scheduled to start ALCS Game 2 on Monday against Seattle.
  • Coverage situates his comments within a wider trend of online abuse of players’ families, noting similar reports involving Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler, while some reports suggest the hostility likely did not originate from Toronto fans.
