Blue Jays Rotation Dilemma: Corbin vs. Yesavage

On April 22nd, the Toronto Blue Jays rotation is hitting a big decision point right now.

Patrick Corbin delivered another solid start in their 4-2 win over the Angels on Tuesday,

while Top Prospect Trey Yessevage wrapped up his.

Rehab outing in Triple A Buffalo, that puts the team on the verge of shuffling things up

as Yessevage nears a return from shoulder trouble.

Yessevage looked sharp with velocity sitting 93-96 mph, but he only went 2-3 innings.

The plan skipped the full 75-pitch target to prioritize his physical shape over minor league

stats.

Manager John Schneider made it clear they are not sweating the results down there.

He wants Yessevage built up to around 80 pitches next, and the big question is whether that

happens in the minors or straight against big league.

Corbin keeps making his case after signing that $1 million deal on April 4th.

He gave up just one run over 5 innings on 65 pitches Tuesday, mixing sinkers, sliders,

and changeups to keep the Angels in check.

With four starters on the injured list, including Jose Barrios and Shane Bieber, the Jays have

to pick between him, Eric Lauer, or Shift Corbin 2.

Long relief soon.

As Yessevage gets set to join the mix, Corbin steady better in hand has bought the team

time.

But his spot hangs in the balance, proving once again how tight these rotation battles

can get.
