Trey Yesavage Fantasy Stats

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Trey Yesavage made it to the big leagues quickly after Toronto took him with the 20th overall pick in the 2024 MLB draft out of East Carolina University. The 22-year-old made it up to the majors for three regular-season starts before he became a dominant arm during the Blue Jays' run to the World Series last fall. Toronto is being cautious with the young right-hander's workload -- he made just 14 starts and threw 75 innings in the first half -- and he went 4-4 with a 3.72 ERA (4.11 FIP) and 1.16 WHIP with 69 strikeouts and 39 walks. Yesavage limped into this week's All-Star break, posting a 5.21 ERA (5.73 FIP) with seven home runs allowed, 30 strikeouts, and 22 walks in 38 innings over seven starts. In his final start before the break, he gave up four earned runs with seven walks and just one strikeout in 1 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the San Diego Padres. Yesavage has plenty of long-term upside, but his lack of control (12.5% walk rate) coupled with a lowered strikeout rate (22.2%) should have fantasy managers concerned. It wouldn't hurt to gauge your league's interest in Yesavage at the trade deadline.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Trey Yesavage made his season debut on Tuesday, allowing just four hits over 5 1/3 scoreless innings against the Boston Red Sox. He also recorded three strikeouts, zero walks, and the win. This was Yesavage's first game back in the majors following his recovery from a right shoulder impingement (and a subsequent rehab assignment). He looked sharp as a rookie last year with a 2.35 FIP and 16 strikeouts over 14 regular-season innings, and he picked up right where he left off in his season debut on Tuesday. The 22-year-old didn't rack up as many strikeouts as usual, but he should get back up to his career average over a larger sample size. Yesavage remains a strong starting-pitching option capable of generating strikeouts, throwing with solid velocity, and limiting loud contact. In fact, through 19.1 regular-season innings in the majors, the young righty has yet to allow a home run. He is already back in fantasy starter conversations, and he ranks as the SP55 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed starting pitcher Trey Yesavage (shoulder) will make his 2026 season debut on Tuesday, when he will be activated from the 15-day injured list to face the Boston Red Sox. It was announced that the 22-year-old right-hander will also start on Tuesday, giving the Blue Jays some much-needed help in their already depleted rotation. The move will push Eric Lauer back into the bullpen, and also change when both Patrick Corbin (Sunday) and Dylan Cease (Monday) will make their next starts. The highly touted pitcher will look to build on last season's success, where he was able to throw 14.0 efficient innings in the regular season and an additional 25.2 innings in the playoffs. In total, he tossed 41.2 innings and struck out 55 batters, all while compiling a 3.46 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. He should be activated and started in all fantasy leagues next week

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage's (shoulder) minor-league rehab start on Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo was expected to be his final appearance while recovering from a right-shoulder impingement that landed him on the 15-day injured list to begin the 2026 season. However, he only went 2 1/3 innings and threw 64 pitches in that outing. His fastball sat between 93-96 mph, which was nice, but the Blue Jays wanted him to go at least 75 pitches, meaning it's possible he'll need another rehab start before making his return to Toronto's starting rotation, according to Max Ralph of MLB.com. "I mean, I wish he threw more pitches," manager John Schneider said. "I think physically, he's pretty good. So we'll figure that out in the next couple of days. I don't need to see the 12-strikeout game in the Minors." Fantasy managers must continue to be patient, but Yesavage's high-strikeout upside when healthy makes him a must-stash in all leagues. He's currently rostered in 92% of Yahoo leagues as he nears his 2026 debut.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Trey Yesavage (shoulder) will make another minor-league rehab start on Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. The Blue Jays want Yesavage to be a bit more built up and be 100% sure that he's here to stay in the majors when he makes his 2026 season debut. The Blue Jays were handling Yesavage with kid gloves back in spring training before putting him on the 15-day injured list with a right-shoulder impingement before Opening Day. Veteran lefty Patrick Corbin has looked good so far while filling in for the team's beat-up starting rotation, which may have bought the team a bit more time before bringing Yesavage back. He's allowed eight earned runs with three walks and 14 strikeouts in 9 2/3 innings pitched in his three rehab appearances, and he's on the cusp of rejoining the major-league rotation. Workload restrictions will likely be in place, but Yesavage's high-end upside as a starting pitching prospect makes him stash-worthy everywhere.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage (shoulder) could return from the 15-day injured list next week after throwing 4 1/3 innings during a minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, according to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Yesavage got up to 71 pitches this week in his third rehab start while he continues to recover from a right-shoulder impingement. Although his fastball velocity was slightly down at 93.3 mph on Wednesday and his fastball command was spotty, at times, manager John Schneider said it was everything the team expected out of Yesavage. He could throw 85 to 90 pitches in his next rehab start, which would put him on track to rejoin the big-league club in Anaheim next week. However, with veteran lefty Patrick Corbin pitching well, Toronto could delay Yesavage's return for another week. Yesavage will return to a rotation role, but don't be surprised if the Jays ease the young pitching prospect back into the fold. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats for his high-end strikeout upside.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage (shoulder) tossed 4 1/3 innings on Wednesday in his latest minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo. Yesavage allowed three earned runs on seven hits (two home runs) while walking one and striking out five batters. The 22-year-old allowed five earned runs with two walks and nine strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings in his first two rehab appearances at Single-A Dunedin. He was hit around a bit in his start on Wednesday, and his velocity was down a bit, but the positive is that he appears to be fully healthy. Yesavage got up to 71 pitches at Buffalo, and it could end up being his final rehab start before the Blue Jays activate him from the 15-day injured list. A right-shoulder impingement put Yesavage on the IL to begin the 2026 season. Yesavage has high-end starting-pitching upside for fantasy managers in dynasty leagues, but he should be rostered everywhere. Those in redraft formats will need to be patient, as the Jays figure to limit his workload in his first full big-league campaign.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage (shoulder) will make another minor-league rehab start next Tuesday or Wednesday, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. Where and when Yesavage's next rehab start comes will depend somewhat on the weather. He'll approach 70 pitches, and it sounds like it could be his final rehab start before rejoining the big-league roster for his 2026 season debut. Yesavage was touched up for four runs in 2 2/3 innings at Single-A Dunedin in his last rehab start, but he was also able to strike out six batters, and his velocity was solid. A right-shoulder impingement forced him to the 15-day injured list to begin the year. The former 20th overall pick in 2024 out of East Carolina quickly reached the big leagues in 2025 and had a 3.21 ERA with 16 K's in 14 innings in his first three starts. He proceeded to work in Toronto's rotation all the way to the World Series, where he fanned 12 Dodgers batters. The high-end upside is obvious for one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, but Yesavage's redraft ceiling will be lowered by the fact that the Jays are planning to limit his innings to somewhere between 135 and 160 in 2026.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage (shoulder) allowed four earned runs while walking one and striking out six in 2 2/3 innings on Thursday in his minor-league rehab start for Single-A Dunedin, according to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Yesavage threw 34 of his 52 pitches for strikes. All four of the runs he allowed came on a string of singles in the first inning. Most importantly, Yesavage's velocity held firm, and his command was solid. The Blue Jays should announce a plan for the next step in his rehab on Friday. In his first rehab start with Dunedin, the 22-year-old allowed an earned run while walking one and striking out three in 2 2/3 innings. Yesavage slightly increased his workload, so he'll most likely be asked to make another rehab start or two before the Jays clear him to rejoin the big-league rotation. The prized young arm will be a fixture in Toronto's rotation for years to come, but they are going to slow-play him back into the big leagues in 2026 after a quick rise to the majors last year and an extended workload going deep into the postseason. He needs to be stashed in all fantasy leagues for his high-end upside.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage (shoulder) will make another minor-league rehab start on Thursday with Single-A Dunedin after throwing 44 pitches in his last rehab start, according to MLB.com's Keegan Matheson. Matheson speculates that Yesavage will be a rehab start or two away from returning to Toronto's starting rotation if he's able to build on his pitch count from last time out this Thursday. The 22-year-old is recovering from a minor right-shoulder impingement that landed him on the 15-day injured list to begin the 2026 season. He looked good for Dunedin last Friday, giving up a run with four strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings pitched. Barring a setback, Yesavage will come off the IL before Jose Berrios (elbow), Shane Bieber (elbow, forearm), and Cody Ponce (knee). Yesavage is one of the brightest young pitching prospects in the game and has high-strikeout upside, but the Blue Jays are going to ease him back in and manage his innings in his first full MLB season.
