Yesavage on Track for Return | Toronto Blue Jays News

0:00On September 12th, so the Blue Jays are getting some good news on the pitching front. Trey, Yuh, Savage, their right-handed pitcher, is making solid progress after left knee surgery. He threw a bullpen session yesterday, hitting 93 mph with 30 pitches, which is a strong sign he's on the right track. He's set to throw another bullpen session on Sunday, and then the plan is for him to start a rehab assignment sometime next week. The team is thinking he might only need one minor league star before he's ready to rejoin the big club, but they're playing it by ear to see how he feels. Remember, Yuh, Savage, EG went under the knife back on August 11th to fix a torn meniscus. He got hurt on August 4th, and at the time, they weren't ruling him out for the rest of the season. It's good to see him progressing this quickly. This timing is pretty crucial for the Jays, especially with their playoff push. They're currently 73 wins and 74 losses still in the hunt. They've already dealt with injuries to Jose Boreos and Shane Bieber, so getting another arm back, especially a power arm, is a big deal.

1:06Before he went down, Yuh, Savage, EG was having a good year, going 5 and 5 with a 3.65 earned run average and 91. Strikeouts. If he can come back and give them even a little bit, it's a boost for a rotation that definitely needs it. That's the story for today. Toronto Blue Jays News Today, driven by AI.
