Overview

  • Multiple outlets including Sportsnet and MLB.com report Toronto plans to call up the 2024 first-rounder, though the team has not announced the move.
  • Yesavage has surged from Single-A to Triple-A this season, posting a 3.12 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 160 strikeouts in 98 innings across four levels.
  • He is ranked Toronto’s No. 1 prospect and a top-25 talent overall, featuring a riding mid-90s fastball plus a splitter, slider/cutter and spike curve.
  • He’s expected to debut in relief given a set rotation of Shane Bieber, José Berríos, Chris Bassitt, Max Scherzer and Kevin Gausman.
  • Roster moves to create space remain unknown, with manager John Schneider slated to address details before Sunday’s series finale against the Orioles.
