Overview

• Manager John Schneider announced the 22-year-old right-hander for Sunday’s home start, with Yankees left-hander Max Fried slated as the opponent.
• Shane Bieber is lined up for Game 3 at Yankee Stadium, a setup Schneider said keeps Yesavage available for later-series roles.
• Yesavage advanced through four minor-league levels this year, compiling a 5-1 record with a 3.63 ERA and 160 strikeouts in 98 innings.
• In three September outings for Toronto he worked 14 innings with a 3.21 ERA and 16 strikeouts, following a debut that set a club mark with nine Ks against the Rays.
• Yankees manager Aaron Boone said his team has not seen Yesavage in person and singled out the right-hander’s split-finger as a major weapon.
