Corbin's Strong Pitch, Looming Returns Shake Jays Rotation

It's April 17th.

I'm Cory with the story, and this is Toronto Blue Jays News today, your AI-powered team

report.

Patrick Corbin just made a strong pitch to stick around in the Toronto Blue Jays rotation.

The veteran lefty bounced back from a rough debut, giving up only one run on four hits,

while striking out six over five and two-thirds innings against.

The Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday.

Cory Yessevage is closing in on his big league return after his third rehab start on Wednesday,

and he's expected back sometime this month.

Jose Barrios kicked off his injury rehab with his first outing Thursday too, putting pressure

on the current starters.

Fans in the front office are watching closely, as one spot has to open up.

Eric Lauer has struggled with a 7.82 earned run average in his first two starts this year,

after a solid run in the Miners and Korea.

Last season, Mac sure is dealing with four arm tendonitis and got shelled for eight runs

in two and one-third innings lately.

Corbin knows the deal, saying he's just showing up to compete and control what he can, no

matter the injuries opening the door.

Lauer and Corbin both lack minor league options, so they might shift to long relief if bumped.

This weekend could shake things up for the Jays, even without Corbin on the mound, as they

eyeball pen depth and rotation tweaks with these returns.
