Overview
- Yesavage underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, the Blue Jays announced Tuesday, August 11.
- Manager John Schneider called Yesavage 'week-to-week' and said the club is not ruling out a return this season while it monitors his rehab.
- The 23-year-old right-hander has been a primary starter this year, posting a 5-5 record and a 3.65 ERA with 91 strikeouts in 93 2/3 innings across 18 starts.
- Yesavage’s procedure comes as Toronto has lost or sidelined multiple starters and traded Kevin Gausman, forcing the club to explore depth options such as Simeon Woods Richardson and several swing men.
- The team expects to reassess progress in the coming weeks and will weigh medical clearance, Yesavage’s recovery speed, and the Blue Jays’ standing in the AL Wild Card race before deciding whether to push him back this year.
