Toronto Blue Jays' Pitching Prospect Returns

On April 15, Toronto Blue Jays, sitting at six wins and nine losses,

fourth in the American League East early in the 2026 season,

pitching staff hammered by injuries, forcing way too many bullpen games,

and leaving the rotation thin.

Trey Yessevage, their 22-year-old right-hander and first-round pick

from the 2024 draft, key peace outs and spring training with.

A shoulder problem. Do show promise last year and three big league starts,

one win, 3.21 ERA, and lit it up in the playoffs with a 3.5.

Eight ERA over nearly 28 innings.

Team hurting bad without him and others like Jose Barrios with an elbow fracture.

Shane Bieber sidelines 60 days for inflammation,

bowed in Francis. Done for the year after UCL surgery,

and Cody Ponce with a torn ACL, bullpen wearing down fast,

desperate for stability. Good news dropped ahead of their series against the

Milwaukee Brewers. Manager John Schneider says,

Yessevage pitches Wednesday for AAA Buffalo in Rochester,

throwing 65-70 pitches over four innings.

If smooth, might be his last rehab stop before jumping back to the majors.

That cautious ramp up could ease the pressure and slot in a high upside arm for

the long haul. Jays kickoff versus Milwaukee

tonight at 7.40 p.m. Eastern, fingers crossed this

sparks a turnaround on the mound. Toronto Blue Jays news today,
